New Delhi, Nov 25 (IANS) Delhi Police have busted a fake call centre-cum-consultancy racket that allegedly cheated more than 60 people on the pretext of providing them jobs in the Gulf countries, and apprehended six persons, including two women, in this connection, a police officer said here on Thursday.
According to the officer, an information was received by the special staff team in Shahdara district that a fake call centre was being run near Vishwas Nagar.
Subsequently, a police team was constituted to obtain all the relevant details of the persons who were cheated by the accused.
After getting all the details, the police team conducted raid on the aforesaid premises and found that some youth along with two ladies were making calls from their mobile phones. On checking their laptops, forged documents in the form of fake offer letters and visas were found.
"All the six persons -- Ankit Gupta, Navneet jain, Vijay Kumar, Javed Siddiqui and two females -- were apprehended," the officer said.
During the interrogation, accused Ankit, who was the kingpin of the racket, disclosed that he used to post an advertisement on social media platforms and job seekers used to call on the number provided in the advertisement.
The accused used to ask the jobseekers to provide their documents online. In a day or two, the fraudsters provided fake offer letters to the victims along with fake visas for the Gulf countries.
"They collected Rs 15,000-20,000 for visas. During investigation, it was learnt that the accused had contacted over 300 jobseekers, of which 57 deposited the deal amount in the last two months," the officer said.
Action has also been initiated against the owner of the premises in which the call centre was being run.
The police have recovered 18 mobile phones, two ATM cards, five fake sim cards, three laptops and other relevant documents form the possession of the accused.
The petitioner contended that her daughter is a permanent resident of the US, while her son holds an American passport. Jauhar argued that children have been taken to an "undisclosed destination", as they are neither in Chennai nor at Tamil Nadu's Virudhnagar, and that his client suspects they have been taken to Maharashtra.
After failing to get any information about Gurdeep's whereabouts since he left Delhi a week ago, his uncle Shamsher Singh, who is also at Singhu, lodged the missing complaint at Kundli police station which falls under Sonepat district of Haryana and is very near the farmers' protest site.
Her resignation came hours after she was given water supply and sanitation, social security, women and child development, printing, and stationery departments in the new Cabinet led by Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
There is a Twitter war going on between senior BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy and Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, the national secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) with allegations and counter allegations flying thick and fast against each other.
Terming Sidhu's resignation as sheer drama, Amarinder Singh said the move suggests that his former Cabinet colleague is preparing the ground to quit the Congress and join hands with some other party in the run-up to the Assembly polls scheduled next year.
The campaign will celebrate and curate innovative, sustainable and equitable climate solutions and actions being pioneered by young people in India. The focus is on strengthening engagement with governments and civil society for a more collaborative approach to climate action, a release said.
