Naman also helped the other accused obtain foreign WhatsApp numbers that were used to carry out the fraud, said Police Commissioner Rakesh Agrawal.The cops have a challenging task of listening to over 10 lakh recorded calls as the victims belonged to foreign countries such as the UK USA Canada and no one had so far approached the police.The accused had access to a robotic calls software which they used to make 30,000 calls at once. Those falling prey were transferred by the software to fake call centres and connected to persons in India.The Ludhiana police will write to the Punjab Police which through the Home Department will communicate with the Ministry of External Affairs to reach out to the countries to get written statements of the victims. We will do this once we corroborate the technical and physical evidence seized here  said an officer.
