Cyber thugs impersonate Greenko MD, trick staff into transferring ₹2.7 cr
Hyderabad: In a high-stakes case of corporate impersonation, cyber criminals duped senior executives of Greenko Group into transferring ₹2.7 crore by posing as the company's managing director. The fraud was executed over WhatsApp using the MD's photo and convincing language, leading to two separate fund transfers in June first week before the deception was discovered. Cyberabad cyber crime police have launched an investigation based on a formal complaint from the company. The fraudsters contacted Greenko Group's chief finance officer (CFO), Subrat Das, via WhatsApp using two different mobile numbers. To lend credibility, they used a photograph of MD Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty as the display picture. On June 2, one of the imposters requested an urgent payment of ₹1.95 crore, citing client obligations. Following standard protocol, the CFO relayed the request to chief finance controller Virendra Kasliwal, who instructed senior general manager Sripada Chandra Sekhar to process the transfer. The funds were sent to an account under the name ONITSUKA Developers Pvt Ltd. A similar ploy was executed on June 5, resulting in another transfer of ₹75 lakh to Classic Constructions. The fraud came to light later that day when Chandra Sekhar shared the payment details with the MD's office and it was confirmed that no such request had been made by the real MD. "The actual MD confirmed that the mobile numbers used (956*33** and 752*512**) were not his," a cyber crimes police official said. Based on a complaint from Chandra Sekhar, a case was registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for cheating, impersonation, forgery, and conspiracy, along with section 66-D of the IT Act. The Greenko Group has assured full cooperation with the authorities in tracking down the culprits. Fraud at children's hosp foiled In a similar incident, fraudsters impersonated Dr Ramesh Kancharla, chairman of Rainbow Children's Medicare Limited (RCML), attempting to defraud the company of ₹20 lakh. Alerted by the unusual 'tone and tenor' of the messages, RCML's CFO contacted the chairman directly, confirming the scam. No funds were transferred, and a complaint was filed at Banjara Hills police station.

How much has Tesla lost in 2025 amid Elon Musk's political ambitions and public spat with Donald Trump
The public spat between US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, which started with criticism of government policy, significantly impacted the world's top EV maker. Amid the ongoing feud, Tesla lost $150 billion in market capitalisation (market cap), and its shares dropped 14% in a day. The market capitalisation of Tesla stood at $917 billion on June 6, 2025, marking a 29.3% decline this year, the largest drop among major companies across the globe, reported Reuters. The EV maker has lost nearly $380 million in 2025 so far, the biggest loss among top companies amid Elon Musk's political ambitions and low demand for Tesla EVs. Till Thursday, the electric vehicle (EV) maker has seen its market capitalisation shrink by approximately $150 billion since the feud began. Tesla share price crashed more than 14% after Musk called out Trump's 'big beautiful bill.' The new bill proposed the elimination of federal EV tax credits, an incentive for Tesla sales. Removing these credits may pose a $1.2 billion challenge for Tesla, which currently faces challenges such as decreasing demand, declining profits, according to JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman, as Mint reported on June 4, 2025. In March, Tesla witnessed a major decline due to concerns about demand for the company's electric vehicles. During this period, Tesla lost $130 billion in market value, Mint reported on March 11, 2025. Reportedly, Tesla chief's prominent involvement in politics has significantly impacted the EV giant's business. Investors previously voiced worries that Musk's role in heading the Department of Government Efficiency to reduce government expenditures is taking his attention away from overseeing his businesses, such as Tesla, SpaceX, X, and xAI. However, Musk officially left DOGE on May 29. The Tesla CEO overlooked its customer base while catering to Trump's administration, US marketing professor Scott Galloway said in a podcast. 'He's alienated the wrong people,' he said. 'Three-quarters of Republicans would never consider buying an EV. So he's cozied up to the people who aren't interested in EVs," Galloway added. Notably, Trump repeatedly championed for 'drill baby drill', advocating to raise domestic oil and gas production, which raised concerns over demand for EV vehicles. Galloway also highlighted how Tesla's sales fell nearly 59% in France, 81% in Sweden, 74% in the Netherlands, 66% in Denmark, 50% in Switzerland and 33% in Portugal. Musk's recent involvement in the political affairs of various European countries, a key EV market, through his social media platform X, has affected Tesla sales region, CNN reported. Meanwhile, Chinese EV maker BYD surpassed Tesla sales in Europe for the first time in April, according to a report from Jato Dynamics. Tesla's profits dropped 71% by the end of April, Musk confirmed in an earnings call that he plans to reduce his involvement with DOGE from May onwards.
