Lucknow Police Arrest 119 in Fake International Call Centre Cyber Fraud CasePreviousNext

Lucknow police arrested all 119 individuals detained during a raid on a fake international call centre named Solaris Solution, operating from the 11th floor of the Summit Building. The centre allegedly targeted US citizens using technical frauds and inducements via the 'Dollar App' and impersonation of US agencies. Police seized laptops, mobile phones, and digital evidence, revealing a corporate-style fraud syndicate with salaried employees. Investigations continue into the wider network, financial transactions, and other associates. Some relatives claim the accused were unaware of the fraudulent activities.
