Also, investigations into the racket has led Thane Police to suspect involvement of the son of a senior IPS officer from Gujarat in running these illegal call centres in Ahmedabad.
Investigators found that the call centres in Ahmedabad, which were raided by local police recently, resumed their operations soon afterwards.
Thane Crime Branch is probing why no concrete action was taken against these call centres.
During interrogation of several arrested accused, investigators got information about illegal call centres running in Pralhad Nagar in Ahmedabad since 2009.
Police also found a huge server installed in one of these call centres (in Ahmedabad) which had the entire data base generated from the call centres which were part of the racket, including the ones in Mira Road.
