Patiala: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its crackdown on financial fraud networks by arresting four more suspects connected to an international call center gang.

The arrests are part of an ongoing investigation into a sophisticated syndicate that used telecommunication infrastructure in the region to execute fraudulent transactions. Authorities indicated that the gang operated with a high degree of organization, utilizing multiple layers of command and control to evade law enforcement for a significant period.
While specific details regarding the total amount of money laundered or the exact modus operandi of the latest batch of arrests were not disclosed in the initial report, the ED emphasized that the operation aims to dismantle the entire network. Investigators are currently seizing electronic devices and financial records to trace the flow of illicit funds.
This development marks a significant step in the broader efforts to curb the rising menace of international call center frauds in Punjab. The ED has assured that further arrests are likely as the probe deepens into the financial trails of the remaining fugitives.
