HC drops case against those running ‘fake’ call centre

The High Court of Karnataka has quashed the proceedings against four persons, accused of running a fake call centre at Whitefield, in the city. Justice K Natarajan noted that there are no victims or complaints by the general public alleging cheating.

The petitions were filed by Rishi Vyas, Syed Ibrath, Rishabh and Jithiya Kishan Heerabai challenging the proceedings initiated by Mahadevapura and Whitefield police.

The FIRs were registered on the credible information received by the police that the accused persons were running fake call centre companies – Ethical Infotech Private Limited at EPIP Zone in Whitefield and Ethical Infocom Private Limited at Silver Soft Techpark in Mahadevapura.
