Delhi police have dismantled a call centre that allegedly defrauded US victims of roughly ₹100 crore, arresting eleven suspects.
Delhi police carried out a raid on a call centre suspected of running a fraud scheme that targeted victims in the United States, seizing equipment and records.
Officials say the operation siphoned close to ₹100 crore from American individuals through deceptive phone calls that pretended to be from legitimate agencies.
Eleven individuals believed to be part of the network were taken into custody and placed in judicial custody for further interrogation.
The investigation is proceeding under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Money‑Laundering Act, with authorities urging the public to report similar scams promptly.
