Thane Police to seek details of call centre scam in US

The conviction of 21 Indian-origin persons by a US court in a multimillion-dollar India-based call centre scam is expected to help investigators of a similar racket in the city build a watertight case against the accused, Thane Police officials said today.

Thane Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh said, "They (American investigators) have quoted from our case (in the US court). We will seek details (from the FBI). DCP Crime (Abishek Trimukhi) will coordinate."
He said, "We will see what kind of evidence was presented (in the US court) and if we can use it in our case."
ACP (Crime) Mukund Hatote, who is leading the prosecution case in a court here, said, "The Thane Police should obtain the entire (US) judgement and evidence presented there to make its own case strong and ensure conviction of the accused."
