Hyderabad: Sleuths of Task Force along with officials of Telecom Department busted an illegal international call routing racket, which posed a serious threat to the national security. Five persons, including the key player, were taken into custody.
According to Task Force officials, the accused were identified as Mories Krishna Chaitanya, 29, resident of KPHB Colony, Gaddam Raj Sai Rahul Kumar alias Madhu, 28, P Ramakanth, 27, both residents of Agapura, P Siddartha, 24, resident of Asif Nagar and P Anurup, 25, resident of Shaikpet. They were operating the network from DVL Group branch office, Asif Nagar and DVL Group office in Hong Kong.
They misused the internet bandwidth for receiving incoming international VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls. Through internet, calls were pumped into India from foreign countries using VoIP technology. The accused were terminating the incoming international VoIP calls into PSTN (Public Switched Telecom Network) by using Indian local telephone numbers without the knowledge of Department of Telecommunications.
It is said that the illegal international call termination setups were paving way for possible security threat, huge revenue loss to government, evasion of taxes and burdening the genuine telecom customers because of cloning of mobile phones. “The DVL Group attracted customers from various countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka, Australia and other countries,” said B Limba Reddy, DCP, Task Force. Two laptops, three CPUs with accessories, three eight-port switches, one Cyberoam treat management and five mobiles were also seized from the gang.
