Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 467: A Major Transnational Case

Naturally, Rodon did not delay in responding to the call from Federal Home Minister Rajnath and flew to New Delhi that day.

During this period, he also called Vides, wanting to find out from him what was going on.

This way you can have an idea in your mind.

After all, Vides is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and is well-informed.

What's more, Rotun really got some information from him.

It's a case involving the United States.

It was the FBI in the United States that put pressure on the Indian government.

Vides didn't say much about the details, and he wasn't too clear about it right now.

Knowing this was enough, and Luoton didn't ask any more questions.

It was just a case involving a foreign country, and Luo Dun was a little surprised.

If it really is a case abroad, it would be a big case, so it shouldn’t be the police’s turn, right?

Normally it is the Central Bureau of Investigation that should come forward.

Is it because of my personal charm?

Luoton couldn't help but feel narcissistic. It was really possible.

No matter what, I am still very good at fighting and getting things done.

Rajnath still trusts himself.

This concerns the United States, so India must take it seriously.

If you really want to investigate a case, you must send capable people.

This is not Luoton bragging. Based on the cases he handled before, it is obvious that he can get the approval of the higher-ups.

Upon arriving at the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Rodon was immediately summoned by Rajnath.

Given Rodon's current status and position, it would not be difficult for him to meet Rajnath.

Moreover, this time it was Rajnath who came specifically to find Rotun. When he learned that Rotun had arrived, he put aside all other things in his hands and went to see Rotun first.

"Rodun, you've arrived so quickly. Thank you for your hard work. Please take a seat." Rajnath greeted Rodun warmly when he saw him coming in.

"The chief's business is important," Rawdon said after he sat down.

"Okay, then I'll be frank. This matter is extremely urgent. It involves diplomacy and is of great importance." Rajnath said, "The Prime Minister has ordered me to resolve this case perfectly."

"Sir, shouldn't the CBI handle this major case?" Rawdon asked. "Or should I investigate on behalf of the CBI this time?"

As he came here, Rotten thought of many possibilities.

This is the only possible possibility.

After all, he used to handle cases in the name of the Central Bureau of Investigation, especially since he now also serves as a special investigation commissioner of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Therefore, there are sufficient reasons to let me investigate the case.

"No, there's no need to use the name of the Central Bureau of Investigation," Rajnath said. "This case is actually related to you, so you are the most suitable person to come forward."

This made Luoton confused. How could it be related to him?
I have nothing to do with the FBI in the United States.

Even though he was a big shot in India, he wasn't powerful enough to attract the attention of the FBI, right?

"Sir, what kind of big case is this? Murder, kidnapping, terrorism?" asked Rotun.

He pondered for a long time in his mind, and he didn't seem to remember any major cases recently, especially those in the United States, and there were even fewer cases related to India.

"It's not that serious," Rajnath said. "It's a fraud case. To be more precise, it's a telecom fraud case. The story goes like this..."

After listening to Rajnath's introduction, Rodon immediately understood what was going on.

I didn’t expect this to happen. This is really the characteristic of India.

For China, Myanmar's online fraud has caused heavy losses to the people, and some have even lost their families. Everyone hates it with a vengeance.

For the United States, the same is true for India's telecom fraud.

In order to reduce labor costs, major companies in the United States outsourced many call center services and other businesses to India. After all, labor is cheap in India.

India in particular has a language advantage, with many people able to speak English.

After all, it was once Tsai Ing-wen's colony.

Of course, Indian English is full of curry flavor, but compared with the cheap labor cost, this little flaw is not a problem.

Later, not only companies but also some government departments outsourced some call center services, such as customer service. Who doesn’t like cheap services?
As a result, Indian English with a hint of curry has almost monopolized various customer service and consulting services in the beautiful country.

It was definitely a good thing at the beginning. For the United States, lower labor costs increased the profits of various companies and reduced government fiscal expenditures.

For India, this price is of course still very good, and the earnings are in US dollars, which is foreign exchange.

However, this person's desire is endless. Once he earns a little, he wants to earn more.

Since these outsourced services such as call centers usually involve answering calls, etc., over time, these Indians have gained access to countless pieces of information about American citizens, especially phone numbers.

Then someone started to think about this.

So, all kinds of scams began.

These Indians will lie to the victims that they have evaded taxes, etc., and that they are from the tax bureau and need the victims to pay some bail or something. Only by depositing the money into a designated account can they avoid investigation.

In the United States, taxes are absolutely terrifying.

If you are targeted by the tax bureau, you will be in big trouble.

In addition, they also pretend to be police, FBI, etc.

Since the people of the United States are used to Indian waiters with a strong smell of curry, they do not doubt this.

These are the powerful law enforcement departments in the United States. People are often led by them out of fear, lose their composure, and are cheated out of a large amount of money.

The main target of India's fraud is the United States, but it has later expanded to other English-speaking countries.

For example, Canada and Tsai Ing-wen.

These countries contribute a large amount of money to these Indian cyber fraudsters every year.

According to incomplete statistics, India's telecommunications fraud cases can defraud the United States of hundreds of billions of dollars every year, and Canada and the UK combined probably account for tens of billions of dollars.

You should know that one of India's main sources of foreign exchange is food exports.

India is one of the world's largest food exporters, often ranking first.

Even so, the foreign exchange earned from grain exports each year is only a few hundred billion US dollars.

The US dollar foreign exchange obtained from this online fraud is almost equivalent to the foreign exchange earned from grain exports.

It can be said that these guys have obtained a large amount of foreign exchange for India.

This is definitely a good thing for the government.

It’s not that the Indian government is unaware of these things, but they basically turn a blind eye to them.

After all, those who were deceived were citizens of developed countries. What does this have to do with India?
Besides, this is money obtained through hard work, which can be used as a capital for showing off in India.

The Indian government does not want to crack down on this industry, not only because it allows the country to obtain a large amount of foreign exchange, but also because the group of practitioners in it is very large, involving millions of people.

If this industry is really destroyed, what will happen to these millions of people?
The Indian government cannot assign them so much work, and chaos is inevitable.

In short, in India, the government has little incentive to combat these crimes.

Moreover, India's legal system is extremely backward, and there are actually no clear corresponding laws for cases like telecommunications fraud.

That is to say, there is no legal constraint, and you cannot say that he is breaking the law in India.

Even if they are caught, what law can be used to convict them?

"Sir, the targets of their fraud are foreigners, and Indian law only stipulates that defrauding domestic citizens is a crime..." said Roton.

"Special matters require special treatment," Rajnath sighed. "The FBI has already provided a lot of clues. This fraud ring's lair is in Mumbai, so I came to you. I believe you can handle this perfectly."

"Is this the only gang?" Rawdon asked.

Rajnath was stunned by this, but he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Rotten, it's America that's furious this time, and they've put pressure on the Prime Minister through diplomatic channels. So, this has to be done beautifully. The gang the FBI mentioned must be busted, and the main criminals must be apprehended. I have no objection to you busting a few more gangs along the way. That way, we'll be able to give America a better explanation."

Rawdon smiled.

Actually, it's just for show.

It is impossible to completely crack down on this industry.

It is impossible for India to completely cut off this piece of fat.

Now, due to the anger of the United States, we have to find a few scapegoats to let the United States calm down first.

Once this matter is over and the storm has died down, we will have to do what we have to do.

"Sir, I understand. I will go back and start investigating this case right away," said Rawdon.

This gang is in Mumbai, so it is really within their jurisdiction.

If someone else had been the Commissioner of Mumbai Police, Rajnath would have definitely let the Central Bureau of Investigation take direct charge of the case.

It's different myself.

No wonder Rajnath said he was the most suitable, it was true.

"But, sir, I think the CBI could also be involved," Rawdon added.

"Oh?" Rajnath was stunned for a moment. "Yes, that's right. I will inform Vides, but you still have to take the lead on this matter."

Rajnath understood what Rattan meant.

Since this case involves some diplomatic confrontations between India and the United States, it is bound to attract the attention of countless people.

Rotun brought in the CBI, naturally to raise the CBI's profile.

The battle between the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate is now too intense, and both sides are taking every opportunity to show their presence in front of the public.

This is a very good opportunity to show your abilities.

Rajnath knew that Rodon and Vides had a good relationship, so when Rodon mentioned this, he must have been considering Vides.

But Rajnath didn't care about any of this.

Since the Central Bureau of Investigation has made progress, it will also be beneficial to him as the Federal Home Minister.

After all, the fight between the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate is actually a power struggle between him and Arun.

Whoever has the upper hand can speak louder.

After leaving Rajnath, Rodon went to Vides.

When Vides saw Rotun coming, he greeted him warmly.

"Rajnath has called me. I didn't expect that the United States was here for these fraud cases. It seems that this case has made them all feel painful." Vides said with a smile.

He knew that the matter was related to the United States, but he was not sure what the case was.

Just now, Rajnath called him and asked the CBI to cooperate with Roden in investigating the case.

Of course, Vides would not refuse this. No matter what the case was, there would be no problem in cooperating with Roton.

This is a good opportunity to show off.

"As for the amount, it's actually not that big, involving more than 100 million US dollars. The main reason is that this guy was originally a retired official of the FBI..." said Roton.

Throughout history, there have been cases where this method has been used to successfully defraud hundreds of millions of dollars or even more.

So it's not a question of amount.

This official had considerable influence and used a lot of connections after being cheated.

In addition, the US government's tolerance for fraud in India has reached its limit.

I want to take this opportunity to warn India not to go too far in anything.

So there was this scene.

"It doesn't matter whether he is an FBI official or not. As long as this case has a big enough impact and is beneficial to us, that's enough." Vides said with a smile.

Before, the law enforcement bureau was following me around and doing all kinds of things. Whatever cases I was handling, they would follow suit and handle the same cases.

But this case is the only one in the world.

At least it is the only one now, and the law enforcement agency can’t follow it even if they want to.

This means that in this case, only their Central Bureau of Investigation can come to the fore.

And of course, there is Rodon, the Commissioner of the Mumbai Police.

Anyway, the people on their side are proud of themselves.

Both Roton and Vides knew very well that in order to give an explanation to the United States, this case would definitely be the focus of attention, and the news media would definitely follow up on the report.

In fact, for Roton and his team, the number of people they arrested would definitely not be large, and the number of gangs they cracked down on would not be too many, but India could create hype through the news media, making people think that all these fraud gangs had been wiped out.

The main purpose is to give the United States some face.

I've cooperated so much on my part, you can't bring these things up again, right?

As for making a comeback in the future, that is a matter for the future.

For the Indian government, how could it really be willing to give up this way of earning a large amount of foreign exchange at little cost?

"Roden, I'm really grateful to you this time." Vides said again.

"I really need the cooperation of the Central Bureau of Investigation. This gang's hideout is actually not far from the neighboring state. If something unexpected happens and they escape from Mabang, I will need to go through various reporting and application procedures. By the time these are done, I don't know where these people will be hiding." Roton said with a smile.

This case must be handled quickly, but it cannot be delayed for too long.

Roton was not worried if these guys just escaped from Mumbai.

Given his position in Mabang and his relationship with Director General Shiva, there is no problem in carrying out various cross-regional arrests.

But if it involves inter-state issues, it’s a different story.

Although this is the case that is the focus of the above, it is not so easy when it comes to some issues between states.

So Rotten called on the CBI not just to give some credit to Vides, but because he really needed the CBI's privileges.

With the CBI around, Rotun can lead his men directly to other states to hunt down the criminals.

"Don't worry, the people I send are definitely familiar to you. They have followed you to solve cases before. This way, it will be easier for you to give them orders." Vides said.
