Police on Wednesday claimed that they busted an illegal call centre in Sector 62 that duped foreigners on the pretext of tax discrepancies.

Police identified the alleged mastermind as Owais Alam from Moradabad native, and his alleged business partners Shahnur and Ankush Bahri.

“They were provided data of foreigners mostly from the US, the UK and Australia. The suspects would reach out to them and claim to be local tax officers and had found tax discrepancies after which they would have the foreigners pay them through gift cards,” said joint commissioner of police (law and order) Luv Kumar.
