Four arrested in Rs 3 crore online investment fraud in Hyderabad
HYDERABAD: The Cybercrime police arrested four persons in connection with an online investment scam, in which a Hyderabad resident lost Rs 3 crore. The accused have been identified as Srinivas Manubothula, a software consultant from Narsingi, Rangareddy, Syed Yousuf, a real estate agent from Aghapura, Chekka Yeshaya alias Shekar from Banjara Hills, and Mohammed Jaber Ahmed, a businessman from Mehdipatnam. According to the police, the victim, a resident of North Lalaguda, lodged a complaint on June 28 alleging that on April 14, a woman named Anu Pritha Daga, posing as an assistant mentor to one Ajay Garg, purported to be the CEO of SMC Global Securities Ltd, invited him to join an online investment group via WhatsApp. On May 29, Daga persuaded the complainant to invest in the group through a website link she shared. Claiming they provided SEBI-approved trading and cash management services, she convinced him to invest in the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of a fictitious company, 'Influx Health Tech Ltd'. The complainant was allegedly allotted shares worth Rs 49 crore without his consent. When he raised objections, the fraudsters agreed to reduce the allotment and requested Rs 3 crore, which he transferred across 16 bank accounts. Initially, he was allowed to withdraw Rs 10,000 to build trust. However, he was later told his account had gone into a negative balance due to non-payment for the Rs 49 crore worth of shares. When they demanded more money, he realised he had been tricked. Srinivas had started a drone software company in 2023 and opened a current account in the name of 'Drones Spray'. Facing financial losses, he was introduced to others who wanted to use accounts for 'investments'. In exchange, he was promised a 10% commission on the deposited amount. Syed Yousuf and his accomplice allegedly travelled to Mumbai with the SIM card linked to Srinivas' bank account. Fraudsters transferred Rs 4.3 crore into the account, which was then distributed across various accounts via net banking.

Credo Brands tumbles after Q1 PAT drops 35% YoY to Rs 6 cr
Credo Brands Marketing (Mufti) dropped 16.83% to Rs 137.40 after the company's consolidated net profit tumbled 35.52% to Rs 6.30 crore on 3.19% decline in revenue from operations to Rs 119.93 crore in Q1 FY26 over Q1 FY25. Profit before tax (PBT) declined 36.93% YoY to Rs 8.23 crore in Q1 FY26. EBITDA stood at Rs 31 crore in Q1 FY26, registering de-growth of 7% compared with Rs 33.4 crore in Q1 FY25. EBITDA margin contracted 100 bps to 25.9% in Q1 FY26 from 26.9% in Q1 FY25. Mufti added 3 new Exclusive Brand Outlets (EBOs) on a net basis in Q1 FY26, bringing the total store count to 444 as of 30th June 2025. Kamal Khushlani, chairman & MD, Credo Brands Marketing, said, During the quarter, revenues remained steady at approximately ₹120 crores, reflecting the continued softness in discretionary spending, particularly across Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, where consumer sentiment remains muted. We at MUFTI, are entering into a phase of transformation, which is anchored by our vision to position the brand firmly within the premium segment of the Indian apparel market. To make MUFTI's brand transformation visible and experiential for consumers, we have developed an entirely new store design and identity to deliver a shopping experience that enables customers to experience the style and quality of the MUFTI brand. As part of this strategy, we are accelerating the transformation of our retail footprint by opening 20 odd premium flagship stores in FY26, and closing underperforming stores. These flagship stores will open in key high-potential markets, enhancing our presence in premium and luxury malls and high-street locations. This retail network transformation and rationalization will be continued in FY27 also. These efforts are aimed at elevating brand perception, increasing footfalls, and reignite the consumer excitement for brand MUFTI. We are also intensifying our Digital marketing where our strategic partnership with Google and Meta, which initiated last year, is now reaching an inflection point. We are scaling content creation and increasing marketing investments to effectively communicate MUFTIs transformation These investments made by us to position and strengthen the MUFTI brand within the premium fashion segment are deliberate investments to realize full potential of the brand. These decisions have been taken after seeing some early success in relocated premium retail locations and digital engagement activity. We realize that these efforts will impact our cost structures and also lead to an increase in rental costs for premium locations. However, these are strategic investments essential for building long-term brand value, sustaining growth, and enhancing profitability. Advertising and marketing spend as a percentage of revenue to increase to 67% in FY26 and to 8-10 % in FY27 because of these initiatives. But we anticipate the benefits of these efforts to begin materializing from FY28 onwards, by which time advertising and marketing spends are expected to stabilize. Credo Brands Marketing (MUFTI) is a prominent player in the mens casual wear in India. The company offers wide range of product, including shirts to t-shirts to jeans to chinos, catering to all year-round clothing.
