With the arrest of two persons, including one woman, the police claimed
to have busted a fake call centre duping people on the pretext of
issuing insurance policies in south Delhi. The accused have been
identified as Pradeep Gupta and Neha, an official said on Wednesday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (south district) Benita Mary
Jaiker said a complaint was lodged on March 2 at Cyber Police Station
where the complainant stated that he received a call from Neha who
convinced him to take out an insurance policy. Later, Pradeep Gupta came
to meet him in this regard. On the assurance of Pradeep Gupta, the
complainant got Rs 49,171 transferred to the UPI of Gupta. The
complainant was assured that he will get the policy documents soon.
Later, the accused stopped responding to the complainant's calls and
blocked his number and ultimately switched off his mobile numbers.
Based
on the complaint, the police registered a case under section 420 of the
Indian Penal Code at the Cyber Police Station. During the course of
investigation, the team collected bank account details of the
beneficiary accounts and details of the alleged calling numbers were
obtained. During further enquiry, it was revealed that the accused were
using fake SIM cards for making calls to the complainant. The bank
details were analysed and a trail was followed.
"Finally, the
location of the accused persons was zeroed down in Tilak Nagar area and
subsequently a raid was conducted and the accused Pradeep Kumar Gupta
was arrested," the DCP said.
When interrogated, Pradeep Gupta
disclosed that he used to work as an insurance agent but to make easy
and quick money, he started duping the customers by taking money from
them and not proceeding with their policy. He opened a fake call centre
and employed some staff who used to call on random numbers and lured
people to take insurance policies.
