Fake call centre busted in Mohali, 10 detained

Ludhiana, July 2

Taking the investigation into the fake call centre case further, the Ludhiana police today busted another fake call centre running from a residential building in Kharar, near Mohali.

Although the police are mum about the development as they would hold a press conference in the matter tomorrow, sources privy to the development confirmed that the call centre was being run by the same gang that was running another centre at the Pakhowal road here. Sources said around 10 persons had been rounded up from the Mohali call centre and computers and other electronic equipment had been seized.

They said Lakhan Abrol, the main suspect, had spread the roots of the fake call centre business across the country. So, there was a possibility that apart from these two centres, Abrol’s aides were running such centres in other parts of the country too.

Sources said the police had also identified the kingpin facilitating hawala transactions in the UK, the US and India. — TNS
