Ahmedabad: Ahmedabad police Friday arrested eight persons from Delhi, who were part of the gang that operated a bogus call centre in the national capital and duped people by offering a loan on low interest rate. While the owner of the call centre, Vijay Dhawan, is absconding, eight members of his gang, all residents of Delhi, were arrested and brought here on Friday, a release by the city crime branch said.

As many as 67 mobile phones, three laptops and 10 data registers have been seized from the accused. Investigations have revealed that Dhawan used to make around Rs 20 lakh per month through this call centre. In August last year, the city crime branch had received a complaint that some people posed as employees of a reputed finance firm and offered loan of Rs 9 lakh at a low interest rate.
