The Enforcement Directorate seized four additional suspects linked to an overseas call‑centre fraud network during a raid in Patiala, Punjab.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a coordinated operation in Patiala, Punjab, resulting in the arrest of four more individuals suspected of being part of an international call‑centre fraud syndicate. The suspects were taken into custody as part of an ongoing investigation into a network that allegedly operated call centres to defraud victims overseas.
According to officials, the latest arrests follow earlier seizures of gang members in the region, indicating a broader crackdown on cross‑border financial crimes. The ED has not disclosed detailed information about the specific schemes or the total number of people involved, but it emphasized that the operation aims to dismantle the entire fraud apparatus.
Law enforcement agencies continue to monitor similar call‑centre operations across the country, warning that such scams often target foreign customers and channel illicit funds through Indian banking channels. The arrests underscore the ED's commitment to curbing transnational fraud and safeguarding the financial system.
The four detainees are currently being interrogated, and further legal action will be determined based on the evidence gathered during the investigation.
