Kolkata, Sep 17 || The Kolkata Police on Wednesday unearthed a fake international call centre racket and arrested ten persons, including the prime accused, officials said.
The police recovered more than Rs 10 lakh in cash, several mobile phones, and two cars from the accused, and launched an investigation into the racket as well as its operations.
The police also arrested the main accused, Javed Khan, during raids on the gang’s dens following the complaints.
