Faridabad police busted a gang running a fake call centre and arrested six persons for allegedly defrauding people by offering a bonus on an insurance policy. The call centre was run from a rented accommodation in Tilak Nagar, Delhi.
According to the police, a resident of Trikha colony, Ballabhgarh, lodged a complaint at the Cyber Police Station, Ballabhgarh, stating that he had a policy with Future Generali Insurance Solutions.
On September 3, 2025, he received a call from someone claiming to be from the insurance company’s verification department, claiming a bonus of Rs 93,525, which the agent claimed.
He said if the complainant claimed this, he would have to purchase a dummy policy and pay Rs 36,000. Convinced by their words, the complainant sent the money to the account provided.
After this, he received repeated calls from alleged employees of the insurance company, who extorted a total of Rs 7,70,630 from him in the name of pre-maturing the policy and ensuring the full amount. Based on this complaint, a case was registered at the Cyber Police Station in Ballabgarh under relevant sections.
While investigating, the cyber police team busted the illegal call centre on Tuesday night in Tilak Nagar, Delhi, and arrested the six accused. The accused were identified as Mohammad Aslam Raza, Rohit Kumar, Mukesh Gupta, Shubham, and Rahul, residents of Delhi, and Sachin Mittal, a resident of Sonipat in Haryana.
“During interrogation, it was revealed that the call center in Tilak Nagar, Delhi, was being operated by Aslam, Rohit, and Sachin. They had rented two floors of a building and opened a fake call center. At the time of the incident, they were running a call center in Subhash Nagar, Delhi. Rohit, Aslam, and Sachin had called the complainant and defrauded him of his money. The other three accused, Mukesh, Rahul, and Shubham, worked as callers at the call center on a salary.
