On August 4, officials from the Central Crime Branch (CCB) busted an international illegal telephone racket in Bengaluru, arresting two men involved in telecom fraud. Fayaz MA (31) and Mohammed Saffaf (30), both originally from Mallapuram, Kerala, were found running the racket from a rented accommodation in Immadihalli for the past six months.
The accused used a SIM box and a mobile application to convert international calls into local calls, defrauding telecom operators and causing revenue loss. The police seized equipment used in the operation and launched further investigations to identify other possible suspects and connections.
