Twenty-eight members of two inter-State gangs operating fake call centres of State Bank of India, Indiabulls Dhani Loan Bazaar, and involved in thousands of cases across the country were arrested by Cyberabad cyber crime police.
The gangs, operating from the national capital, duped a large number of bank customers for hundreds of crores, Police Commisioner M. Stephen Raveendra said, while announcing the arrest of the accused on Thursday.
Fourteen members of the SBI fake call centre gang were involved in 14 cases in Cyberabad Commissionerate. “After getting customers data (name, mobile number, and location) from SBI’s direct sale agents, the fraudsters call the customers pretending as bank employees, and collected card details and OTPs by misguiding the customers on the pretext of activation of card or deactivation of insurance or enhancing the credit card limit etc,” the officer said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
