Significant progress has been made in a case involving alleged financial fraud against foreign nationals through an illegal call center, where a judicial magistrate has approved the bail applications of 26 arrested suspects.
The court ordered each accused to submit surety bonds of 50,000 rupees.
According to the prosecution, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) conducted a raid on an illegal call center and detained multiple individuals. Authorities said the call center was allegedly involved in deceiving foreign citizens and committing financial fraud.
The prosecution informed the court that the accused used personal data of foreign nationals to facilitate illegal financial transactions and fund transfers. Initial investigations also revealed that the recovered data contained information of a large number of foreign citizens.
Officials said the group was operating in an organized manner and using modern technology to target citizens of different countries.
