According to Manisha Singh, the Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 1), authorities received a tip-off regarding the operation of an illegal call center at a company located in Sector 2, D-Block. The information indicated that the center was deceiving people by promising easy loans over the phone.

Acting on this intelligence, the police conducted a raid at the specified location. During the operation, they apprehended five individuals: Pawan Kumar, Mohit, Harsh Sharma, Swati, and Preeti. Additionally, law enforcement seized five mobile phones, three laptops, six checkbooks, 160 calling data sheets, a billing book, and an internet router, among other items used in the fraudulent activities.

During interrogation, the suspects admitted to contacting unsuspecting individuals, enticing them with promises of loans under simple terms.

The police are currently questioning the suspects further to uncover additional members of this fraud ring and their entire network.
