Engineer loses Rs 83 lakh in trading, now works as Swiggy rider
The Story in Brief
A 35-year-old engineering graduate from a financially stable family has reportedly lost Rs 83 lakh in trading and left his home, according to a viral Reddit post. The man now works as a Swiggy delivery partner, as per the post shared by his cousin.
The post says the man began trading after learning about it from a client. His parents sold land and pledged jewellery to give him Rs 35 lakh to invest. After losing that money, he borrowed further through loan apps and his wife's jewellery, accumulating Rs 83 lakh in debt. His brother intervened and revealed the total. The man reportedly left home despite family support.
The Reddit user quoted the man's trading strategy as: 'The trading chart sort of shows a red light or blink and that is when you invest money.' The post has drawn comments warning about uninformed trading. Live Mint said it could not independently verify the claims.
