Fraud, Mental Torture And Rape: Bihar's Call Centre From Hell
For months, Bihar's Muzaffarpur was home to a call centre from hell. A company called DBR Networking had put up advertisements across social media, including Facebook, seeking agents for a call centre run by them. The catch: the applicants had to be women. As soon as a woman would apply, police officials said, they would be shown dreams of a bright future and then be asked to pay ₹ 20,000 to undergo training for the job, for which they would be asked to go to Muzaffarpur. The training would begin soon after, but so would a cycle of mental torture, fraud and, in some cases, even rape and forced abortions, said an official.
