The scam mastermind, Ashish and Jitendra, executed the plan by hiring nine women who would call people and sell these policies. The gang bought SIM cards using fake Aadhar cards which were bought illegally.

The organization functioned based on commission, the more people you lure in, the more money you get. The brain behind the scam has told the police that he was a BCom graduate and sold life insurance policies for a public sector bank with co-accused Jitendra Kumar Verma alias Abhishek for a few years since 2019.

The coup arrested the entire gang on Saturday and recovered a black diary which consisted of the details of the stolen personal information. The other things that were found at the call center also included twenty-five mobile phones, 81 data sheets, a register and two fake Aadhaar cards.

The money from the victims was received in a Punjab National Bank account that was rented for Rs 10,000, a month from a man named Arvind in Karnataka.
