In a significant crackdown, Delhi police have successfully dismantled an illegal call centre operation, arresting 11 individuals involved in a large-scale financial fraud. The accused disguised themselves as bank employees, swindling unsuspecting victims by manipulating credit card information.
Authorities took action after receiving over 100 complaints nationwide, with claims amounting to over Rs 40 lakh in losses. The investigation, spearheaded by Shubham Singh, ASP, Palwal, began after Sanjay Kumar reported a suspicious Rs 33,000 transaction on his credit card.
Victims were lured by promises of increased credit limits, after which the scammers transferred funds using obtained OTPs. The perpetrators were identified as Delhi residents and are now under thorough interrogation. Police have confiscated 20 mobile phones and numerous bank account details linked to the fraud.
