BPO directors held for fraud

The state CID on Tuesday arrested the two founders of a Kolkata-based BPO for duping thousands of computer users in Europe for more than five months.

The arrests were made with the help of the German Police, who traced the technical support company to Kolkata. Acknowledging the arrest of Rajat Koyal and Subrata Ganguly, directors of the BPO at Salt Lake Sector V, the city’s IT hub, an investigating officer said the company cheated around 14,000 computers users across Germany and Denmark, claiming to be an authorised technical support company for Microsoft.
