Arrested accused include 5 sales agents with mobile service providers, 2 mobile shop owners
MUMBAI: The central cyber police have busted a racket of illegal SIM (subscriber identity module) card suppliers and arrested eight persons in the city, including six direct sales executives of two leading mobile service providers and two shop owners from Colaba.
The accused generated new SIM cards by porting inactive mobile numbers and duplicating biometric details of hapless customers; they sold the SIM cards to cyber frauds and foreign tourists for ₹5,000-10,000 a piece, said police officials. They were arrested following a probe into an online trading scam complaint, which revealed that cyber frauds, including customers of the accused, were using 5,000-7,000 SIM cards on a single device in a month, the officials added.
