The Oshiwara police arrested one Rajesh Ahuja, 40, early Thursday morning for duping six Indian companies of more than Rs 38 lakh. A lookout circular had been issued against Ahuja, who was caught from the Mumbai international airport upon his return from the Philippines.

Officials said Ahuja used to pick up deals from companies based out of India by promising them data entry contracts in Indian call centres. He would also help people set up call centres here. As per the probe, he would take the companies' money for the data entry work, but not pass it on to the call centres by telling them the foreign companies were dissatisfied with their work.
