The accused, which included two estate agents from Thane, provided services to customers in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Karnataka, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra by routing overseas calls from relatives or friends in Bahrain, USA, Bangladesh and UAE, he said.

The arrested men were produced before a local magistrate who remanded them in police custody till October 28, Singh added.

They were booked under Indian Penal Code section 420 (cheating) and sections of the Indian telegraph Act.

The accused had registered a firm using fake Aadhaar cards, he said
