They also cheated people on the pretext of GST, parking and courier charges, and received the money through UPI and QR codes.
After receiving a tip-off, the police on Friday raided the illegal call centre in Udyog Vihar which was running for the past eight months and nabbed the accused tele-callers, who admitted to selling pills to enhance sexual health.
