Although we were initially not interested, he continued to follow up with us daily and strongly persuaded us to attend the company's commercial launch at SVM Grand Hotel, Nagole. At the event, they met Kicha Veerabadra Rao, the CEO of VR Trading, who spoke about the company's achievements. Following this, they continued to receive frequent calls from their team.

Eventually, they visited their office, where they convinced us-through various assurances and promises-to invest an initial amount of Rs.2,00,000. Subsequently, the Operations Manager, Karri Veera Venkata Durga Vara Prasad, repeatedly pressured them to invest additional amounts, stating that once our investment reached 1 crore, the CEO would manage our account personally. As he allegedly did for other investors, based on these repeated claims and assurances, they were induced to invest a total of Rs.78,50,000/- to date. His transactions include Rs.56,43,000/- in online transactions and Rs.22,07,000/- in cash transactions, among these he received Rs.51,80,000/- returned as profit.
