The team grilled him and the accused spilled the beans and said,He would buy several SIM cards and used electronic devise to bypass routers and cheat telecom companies.
He is operating illegal exchange for many months.Many people have benifited by paying meagre amount to use international calls.
We also suspect that many people could have used this service for anti social activities.A case has been registered in soladevanahalli police station and considering the importance,the case has been handed over to cyber crime police for a detailed probe in the case.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-6379709724274732&output=html&h=250&adk=1474439683&adf=705262093&pi=t.aa~a.2006009361~i.17~rp.4&w=333&fwrn=7&fwrnh=100&lmt=1615960777&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=7021818438&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=333×250&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.countryandpolitics.in%2F2021%2F03%2F17%2Fone-heldccb-police-unearth-illegal-telephone-exchange-racket-in-bengaluru%2F&flash=0&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=277&rw=332&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChAI8K7BggYQs8fp0t3Gj5sqEkwA6kPaAGNwkc7PbLd4Tqxm4p9gxkTo_VMLU-YKgZ8MrFFrm_xiw1OljUP_JvC4ILGc8zCSbqg4qwjHnI9JvA6uda6MSlqVryuiebFr&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiNy4wIiwiIiwiQTEgbGl0ZSIsIjg3LjAuNDI4MC4xNDEiLFtdXQ..&dt=1615960777028&bpp=22&bdt=3632&idt=-M&shv=r20210315&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D757bb10c052258f0-220eb45421c50002%3AT%3D1607520600%3ART%3D1607520600%3AS%3DALNI_MaEiPCWpg34wy28WsY4xeM_QGiy9w&prev_fmts=360×300%2C0x0%2C333x250%2C333x250&nras=4&correlator=5674940170370&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=388650107.1607520595&ga_sid=1615960776&ga_hid=1381674099&ga_fc=0&u_tz=330&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=640&u_w=360&u_ah=640&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=14&ady=3024&biw=360&bih=560&scr_x=0&scr_y=912&eid=44737537%2C21066432%2C31060352%2C21065725%2C21066973&oid=3&pvsid=3768661730824684&pem=21&rx=0&eae=0&fc=384&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C560%2C360%2C560&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=8320&bc=31&jar=2021-03-12-06&ifi=5&uci=a!5&btvi=3&fsb=1&xpc=welpgfDWvR&p=https%3A//www.countryandpolitics.in&dtd=412
