In a significant move against cyber fraud, the Delhi Police’s Cyber Police and Anti-Narcotics Squad uncovered a fraudulent call center in Pitampura. The group, masquerading as Bajaj Finserv agents, scammed individuals nationwide with fake loan and insurance offerings. A total of 19 individuals, including 12 women, were apprehended in the operation.
Officials disclosed that the fraudsters deceived victims by levying false processing fees for loans and insurance schemes. The police seized 36 mobile phones and registers used to document their illicit operations. The crackdown, initiated on April 7, followed credible intelligence received by the Anti-Narcotics Squad of the Outer District.
A specialized team, led by Inspector Rajpal and supervised by ACP Virender Dalal, collaborated with the Cyber Police unit under Inspector Gaje Singh. Acting on a tip-off, the joint team raided the Pitampura location, arresting all 19 suspects engaged in making fraudulent calls. During interrogation, a female suspect, claiming to be the team leader, confessed to the elaborate scam targeting victims across various states.
Further investigation uncovered an additional call center within the same premises, operated by a different group leader who revealed instructions from absconding managers. The scammers followed scripted conversations, soliciting personal documents and money through digital payment methods. A case has been registered under relevant laws at the Cyber Police Station, with efforts underway to apprehend the masterminds.
The Outer District Cyber Police emphasized their dedication to combating cybercrime and ensuring digital safety for citizens. Authorities issued an advisory cautioning the public against clicking on suspicious links or sharing sensitive information to prevent falling victim to cyber fraud. In case of suspected incidents, individuals are urged to report promptly to the National Cyber Crime Helpline or local authorities.
