New Delhi, September 6, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Delhi Police have busted an alleged fake call centre operating in Sangam Vihar and apprehended five people accused of cheating unemployed job seekers by promising them employment in reputed companies, officials said on Sunday.
The accused, aged between 19 and 30, were allegedly running the fraudulent recruitment operation from Jharoda Majra in the Sangam Vihar area.
According to police, the Anti-Auto Theft Squad (AATS), North District, received secret information about the call centre on September 1. After verifying the information, a team raided the premises and found Satish Chander Maurya alias Karan alias Harish and other tele-callers allegedly operating the setup.
Investigators found that the accused contacted unemployed candidates and offered jobs such as data entry operator, data analyst, web designer and accountant. The victims were allegedly asked to make payments at different stages of the purported recruitment process.
During the raid and subsequent search, police recovered nine mobile phones, a tablet, seven ATM/debit cards, two bank passbooks, three notepads containing mobile numbers and Rs 6,730 in cash.
Police said the accused allegedly obtained personal details of job seekers through an application called “Job Hai Support”, where candidates registered and applied for employment opportunities. Candidates who had applied for positions at Tata Motors were allegedly specifically targeted, with the accused posing as representatives connected with the recruitment process.
The alleged fraud began with a demand for Rs 499 as courier charges. After candidates made the initial payment, the accused allegedly raised further demands on various fabricated pretexts. Those who refused or could not make additional payments were allegedly blocked and cut off from further communication.
During the investigation, police identified the involvement of two more suspects, who were subsequently apprehended. Their specific roles are being examined.
The police said further investigation is underway to identify other associates, trace the financial transactions and determine the full extent of the alleged fraud.
