There's nothing to stop him opening up somewhere else, so I'll be interested to see what happens in court," he said.Image caption The call centre's owner, Amit Chauhan, second from left, in police custody Hundreds of thousands of people are employed in legitimate call centres in India, but there are also dozens of call centres running scams.Indian police say it is a difficult crime to prosecute because all of the victims are overseas, and they need evidence from victims in order to bring charges.Panorama obtained its evidence from an online vigilante who goes by the name of Jim Browning.
He had hacked into the call centre's computer system and taken control of the CCTV cameras in the building.
