In the ongoing probe into the fake call-centre syndicate allegedly aided by senior police officials, the CBI last week recorded the statement of a key middleman who acted as a liaison between the fake call-centre operators and a network of police officers. The middleman, whose statement was accessed by the FPJ, made explosive disclosures, naming several IPS officers and their financial links to the multicrore racket.

Reliable sources said on Wednesday that one of the IPS officers under the lens recently hosted a lavish dinner, which was attended by certain top politicians, businessmen and bureaucrats.
