A fake call center operation has been shut down by the Delhi Police, resulting in the arrest of 11 individuals. The suspects are accused of impersonating bank personnel to defraud unsuspecting individuals. Police records indicate that over 100 complaints have been filed against these individuals from various parts of the country, and the total loss due to their activities is pegged at ₹40 lakh. A specific instance involved a victim contacted by an individual posing as a bank representative, offering to boost their credit limit; soon after, ₹33,000 was illicitly withdrawn from the victim’s credit card. Concurrently, the Bhopal Crime Branch is investigating allegations of fraudulent scholarship withdrawals exceeding ₹57 lakh, involving multiple madrasas and other institutions.
