Gurugram, Feb 13 : The cyber crime team of the Gurugram Police has busted an illegal call centre operating in Saraswati Vihar area of Gurugram.
The call centre mostly used to cheat US nationals on the pretext of Amazon security support service, the police said on Saturday.

According to the police, a team of the cyber crime police station led by Inspector Azad Singh raided the call centre in Saraswati Vihar area following a tip-off. During the raid, the police arrested the accused Ankit Chaudhary, a resident of Saraswati Vihar Housing Board Colony in Gurugram.
