The Delhi Police on Monday night busted a fake call centre in South Delhi’s Fatehpur Beri and arrested 26 persons, including five women for allegedly duping hundreds of US nationals by posing as officials of Amazon Technical Support.

DCP (south district) Atul Kumar Thakur said the special staff of South district received information about a call centre being run in Sultanpur, Mandi Road. “Acting on this specific information, a raid was conducted and they found several tele-callers making these calls. The team asked them for permission/authorised certificate to run the call centre, but they could not produce any valid documents,” a senior police officer said.
