Telangana Cyber Security Bureau Busts Delhi Call Centres in Fake Loan Scam
The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) dismantled a cyber fraud network operating three call centres in Delhi, arresting 21 Telugu-speaking women telecallers and a bank account holder. The centres targeted victims across Telangana with fake loan offers, impersonating representatives of Bajaj Finance to extract money under false pretenses. The network, active for about 18 months, was run by three organisers who remain absconding. Investigations linked the operation to 22 cybercrime cases, with authorities seizing mobile phones and bank passbooks during raids.
