Statement

CDR racket unearthed on 24 January

The three had been called after some of the arrested accused told police that an advocate obtained CDRs of the actor's wife from private detectives. The CDR racket was unearthed on 24 January when police nabbed four private detectives from Kalwa in the district. 11 persons had been arrested in the scam which involved the illegal procurement and sale of CDRs of private individuals.
