21 telecallers from Telangana held in Delhi
HYDERABAD: The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) has apprehended 21 Telugu-speaking women telecallers from three call centres in Delhi for allegedly cheating people across Telangana by posing as representatives of Bajaj Finance and promising loan approvals. Three alleged organisers — Lalith Singh, Kuldeep Singh and Anil — are absconding, while an account holder, Gurunath (30) from Telangana, was arrested.
According to the TGCSB, the organisers had been operating from Delhi for around 18 months and recruited Telugu-speaking women aged 25-40, many of them from Korutla in Jagtial district, Saidabad and Borabanda in Hyderabad and Mahbubnagar. Their fluency in Telugu was allegedly used to gain victims’ confidence.
