Cyber crime police on the hunt.
The Cyber Crime police are on the hunt for a conman who, pretending to be a woman on social media, is allegedly selling land on the Moon to people as well as offering huge returns for investments in crypto currency.
The conman also posted advertisements on social media with captions such as, ‘Reserving land on the moon’ and ‘Higher returns for the deposit made’.
After a victim approached the police, the cyber crime police team launched an investigation and are tracking down the conman by following the money trail.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
