HYDERABAD: When Chinese citizen Zhu Wei aka Lambo, a key defendant in the loan application case, tried to flee the country, a photo of his passport on the mobile phone of a high-ranking employee of his call center in Gurgaon derailed their plans. He was detained at the Delhi airport on Wednesday, minutes before he caught a flight to Frankfurt.
After investigators began raiding call centers in Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Bengaluru, they initially recovered a photocopy of the passport of Jennifer, alias Yuan Yuan, a Chinese national. When the personnel of these call centers were questioned, the police learned that Lambo, the Indian chief of operations, had already gone into hiding. The companies had reportedly transacted 21 billion rupees.
An employee told police that Lambo was in a relationship with a senior manager. “She was questioned. On her phone, we found her passport details,” an official said. These were later shared with security officials at airports, leading to Lambo’s arrest.
Since he claimed that he did not know English, Lambo was interrogated using Google Translate. In India, he did not use a bank account in his name. Their expenses were reportedly covered by amounts deposited by their Chinese bosses in the accounts of their Indian employees.
