NOIDA: A Baramulla resident who is under police scanner for allegedly running an illegal telephone exchange under the garb of a call centre in Noida is believed to have worked with Apple in Bengaluru till 2015. However, the American multinational has declined to confirm if Basit Farooq Dar was ever employed with them.
It has also come to the that internet calls to this unauthorised telephone exchange were being routed from countries such as Canada, Australia, Oman and Saudi Arabia and converted to phone calls, bypassing government channels. This not only caused the government losses worth Rs 20-25 lakh every month, but also put national security at stake.
