SK Attorneys represented Hindustan Times before the Cyber Prevention Awareness Detection

SK Attorneys acted as the legal representatives for Hindustan Times Media Limited in a cyber crime case, wherein three gangs of imposters duped the victims by offering franchisees or dealerships in the name of companies including Hindustan Times' job website Shine, Shoppers Stop, Dabur India and Indiamart.

The imposters had created fake profiles of leading firms including Shine, Shoppers Stop, Dabur India and Indiamart and used to dupe the victims by using fake website and email IDs created in the name of these firms. The Delhi High Court had referred several matters of trademark and copyright violations pertaining to these companies to the Delhi Police's IFSO unit.

HT Media alleged some unknown persons had created similar and confusing website names like www.learningshine.com, www.shine02.com, www.webshinejob.com, www.shinerecruiter.com, www.shinecomplaints.com,www.resume-shine.com and email ids hr.shinerecruiter2@gmail.com and others containing domain name of the company (www.shine.com). They used to call victims on behalf of the company and cheated the public by receiving their hard earned money, the Delhi Police said in a statement.

HT Media was represented before the Cyber Prevention Awareness Detection (CYPAD) of the Delhi Police by the Shine legal team along with Saurabh Kumar, managing partner, SK Attorney, Delhi.
