(Indianapolis, IN) - Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is prosecuting a Hoosier company for enabling annoying robocalls.

The State is going after Startel Communications in Evansville and two California companies to serve as a gateway for automated calls. The calls originated from India, Singapore, and the Philippines. Startel, owned by Indiana native Wanda Hall and Abhijit Chowdhury of India, went out of business last month following an investigation by the Attorney General's office.

Rokita alleges that nearly five million calls flooded Hoosier phone lines, even reaching numbers on the Do Not Call list.
