Mumbai Police Arrest 9 in Malad Call Centre Scam

Mumbai Police have arrested nine individuals in connection with a fraud call centre operating in Malad West. The call centre, named Insta Transfer Biz Pvt. Ltd., was located at Evershine Mall and was raided by police on August 24, 2026.

The police received confidential information about the call centre's alleged involvement in a lifetime delivery franchise scheme, which cheated at least 20 people.

According to the police, the call centre was operating a scam in which they would promise individuals a lucrative franchise opportunity, but would instead cheat them out of their money.

The police have not released the names of the arrested individuals, but have confirmed that they are investigating the scam further.

The raid on the call centre is part of a larger effort by the Mumbai Police to crack down on fraudulent activities in the city.

In recent years, there have been several instances of call centres being used to cheat people out of their money, with many individuals losing large sums of money to such scams.

The Mumbai Police have urged citizens to be cautious when dealing with unknown individuals or companies, and to always verify the authenticity of any investment or business opportunity before handing over any money.

The police are also working to raise awareness about the dangers of such scams and to educate people on how to protect themselves from falling victim to them.

The arrest of the nine individuals is a significant step in the police's efforts to combat fraud in the city, and it is hoped that it will serve as a deterrent to others who may be involved in similar activities.

The case is currently under investigation, and the police are working to gather more evidence and to identify any other individuals who may be involved in the scam.
