Gurugram, December 3

The Gurugram police have busted a call centre for duping US residents. It was being run from a building in Sector 43 here. Six employees were arrested. An FIR has been registered at the cybercrime police station.

Six laptops and six mobile phones were recovered from the possession of the accused. The accused were duping US citizens through voice messages in the name of technical support and removal of virus from their laptops and desktops.
