Convinced by the claims, the victim, Jayesh Parmar, deposited Rs 2.20 lakh towards various charges to avail the loan. However, when Parmar realised that he has been duped, he lodged a complaint with the crime branch. Based on the call detail records and other technical surveillance, the crime branch zeroed in on the Delhi-based gang and nabbed eight persons, including six callers and two team leaders.
"The callers used to persuade the victims into depositing some money as security deposit or some other charges to avail the loan. As soon as the money was deposited, Dhawan used to withdraw it," it said. The callers used to get fixed salary as well as incentives on each deal, the release said.
