TGCSB Conducts Swift Raids on Cyber Fraud Call Centers in Delhi

In a coordinated operation, the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) carried out surprise raids on three fraudulent call centers operating in Delhi. A total of 21 Telugu-speaking women telecallers and one male bank account holder were taken into custody, while three key masterminds are currently absconding. Authorities seized 23 mobile phones and two bank passbooks during the raids. Preliminary investigations revealed links to at least 22 cybercrime cases registered in Telangana, exposing a well-organized interstate fraud network.

The accused allegedly posed as representatives of Bajaj Finance and lured victims with attractive loan offers. They collected money under the pretext of processing fees, verification charges, documentation costs, and insurance premiums. After receiving payments, they would cut off contact, make false promises for additional money, and resort to threats or blackmail if questioned. TGCSB has urged the public not to trust calls merely because they are in Telugu or from female callers, and to verify credentials before making payments. Victims are advised to immediately report cyber fraud by dialing 1930 or visiting cybercrime.gov.in.
