Vastrapur traders duped of Rs 26cr in phone deal
Ahmedabad: Two Ahmedabad-based mobile phone traders were cheated of Rs 26.34 crore between March and April after they placed a bulk order for iPhones with a Delhi-based supplier. A resident of Vastrapur filed a complaint with the detection of crime branch (DCB) on Thursday, stating that he and his business associate ordered 7,900 units of iPhone-15 and iPhone-16 from a Delhi-based firm. The total payment made was Rs 36.95 crore through official banking channels. According to the FIR, they received only 1,876 iPhones, worth Rs 12.16 crore, and a partial refund of Rs 1.6 crore. The remaining amount — Rs 26.34 crore — was not returned, nor were the pending phones delivered. The complaint states that the accused gave false assurances, shared shipment documents, and held video calls to show the legitimacy of the deal. Despite repeated follow-ups, the deliveries were not completed, and the traders began to suspect foul play.

When the traders visited Delhi in April to inquire about the delay, the accused demanded an additional Rs 3 crore, claiming the earlier payment was short. Later, the complainants discovered that many documents were forged and that they were cheated. The accused reportedly stopped responding to calls and messages after this point. Police registered the case under sections 316(2) (criminal breach of trust), 318 (cheating), and 61 (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. A DCB officer said further probe is underway.

Chennai: Amid the efforts to indigenise CCTV equipment supply chain, Kerala-based chip startup Netrasemi has raised Rs 107 crore in Series A round from Zoho Corporations and Unicorn India Ventures. It develops an integrated circuit called system on chips (SoC), which enables computing in internet of things (IoT) products for applications such as surveillance, industrial robotics, and smart home and retail devices. Founded in 2020, Netrasemi is building SOCs that can process video and AI workloads directly on devices without sending them to the cloud. It has developed two SoC products, a video analytics chip and a microcontroller chip for IoT sensors, currently in the prototyping stage. 'The first chip has advanced video capabilities and we have initiated development of CCTV AI camera chips for the Indian market. The govt's push to localise CCTV supply chains is driving the demand. The trustworthiness of being an Indian player helps both domestic and international markets,' Jyothis Indirabhai, co-founder and chief executive of Netrasemi told TOI.
