The Borivli police have busted a fake call centre that cheated US citizens on the pretext of selling them aphrodisiacs banned in their country, at a 50 per cent discount. The products would not be delivered after the payment was made, said the police. According to the police, the bungalow at Gorai in which the call center was run, was earlier used to run coaching classes. The accused had taken the bungalow on rent and ran the call center under the pretext of  "Lifestyle Fitness Centre" since March.

Informer tells the cops

An informer alerted Senior Inspector Ninad Sawant of the Borivli police station about it. "Under the supervision of DCP Ajay Kumar Bansal, a special team was formed and many officers from the Anti-Terrorism Cell, Cyber Cell, and Detection were sent for a raid. In the presence of Inspector Vijay Madye, on Monday night, personnel detained 16 people including two women, and seized 11 hard disks and computers from the spot," a police officer said. Eleven of the employees were let off.
