Telangana Cyber Security Bureau Busts Three Fraudulent Call Centres in Delhi
The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) has busted an alleged cybercrime network running out of three fraudulent call centres in Delhi, arresting 21 Telugu-speaking women tele-callers along with a male bank account holder. Investigators have linked the network to 22 cybercrime cases across Telangana and identified three alleged organisers who are currently absconding.
How the Operation Ran for Over a Year
According to officials, these call centres had reportedly been operating for about one-and-a-half years, using Telugu-speaking women aged between 25 and 40 to build trust with potential victims. The callers specifically targeted people across Telangana, posing as representatives of Bajaj Finance and offering what looked like attractive loan approvals.
Three Call Centres Raided, Organisers Still on the Run
TGCSB officials carried out coordinated raids at three alleged call centres in Delhi as part of this operation, arresting team leaders, tele-callers, and a bank account holder in the process. Investigators identified three alleged organisers who allegedly owned and ran these call centres — Lalith Singh, Kuldeep Singh, and Anil — each reportedly heading a separate team operating out of Shiva Market in Delhi. All three remain absconding.
During the raids, officials seized 23 mobile phones and two bank passbooks. So far, investigators have established links to 22 cybercrime cases registered across Telangana, with further investigation still ongoing.
TGCSB Director Shikha Goel explained that the investigation revealed a fairly structured cyber fraud network, built around recruiting Telugu-speaking women living in Delhi to work as tele-callers. Many of these recruited women reportedly came from Korutla in Jagtial district, Saidabad and Borabanda in Hyderabad, and Mahabubnagar district — deliberately chosen, it seems, for their regional connection to potential victims.
The Scam Script: Fake Loans, Fake Fees
According to investigators, the fraudsters followed a fairly consistent scripted process. Callers would pose as Bajaj Finance representatives and offer loans to interested victims. Once someone showed interest, they'd be persuaded to transfer money under various pretexts — loan processing fees, verification charges, documentation fees, insurance premiums, and other fabricated costs.
Once the money came in, the accused would either cut off communication entirely or keep stringing victims along with more false promises about the loan getting approved, extracting even more payments in the process. Investigators believe the specific use of Telugu-speaking women was a deliberate strategy — meant to build familiarity and comfort among victims in Telangana. Police noted that cybercriminals are increasingly recruiting regional-language speakers precisely because it helps establish that initial layer of trust with victims.
Victims Threatened When They Asked for Refunds
Perhaps the most troubling part of this investigation is what happened when victims got suspicious and started questioning transactions or asking for refunds. According to the probe, the accused reportedly resorted to intimidation and blackmail in response.
Goel said victims were allegedly threatened with legal action and reputational damage, with their personal information and identity documents misused to discourage them from going to the police or reporting the fraud. She urged people to independently verify the authenticity of any caller or lending company before paying processing fees, verification charges, or any other amount in response to a loan offer.
Police also had a broader word of caution: don't automatically trust a caller just because they're a woman or speak Telugu or another familiar regional language. As officials pointed out, cybercriminals are increasingly leaning on regional-language speakers specifically to build that initial trust before carrying out fraud.
