Police in Jaipur arrested 14 people on September 30 over an alleged call-centre operation that impersonated Apple customer support to target people in the United States. The Times of India expressly dated the raid to Wednesday; Aaj Tak and The420 also reported the arrests that day.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Prashant Kiran described messages falsely claiming that charges had been approved for Apple products or services. The allegations concern people misusing the company's identity, not an allegation that Apple itself operated the scheme.

The joint operation involved the Rajasthan Police Cyber Crime Unit and Jaipur West police. Reports quoted officials as saying 13 laptops, 24 mobile phones and other equipment were seized. Aaj Tak reported that investigators were examining the number of people affected and the movement of money.

The sources disagree on the specific Jaipur neighbourhood, so that detail remains unresolved. No verified total loss, judicial finding of guilt or response from the arrested people was available in the reviewed reports. The devices and alleged individual roles remain matters for investigation.
