Fake SIMs, OTPs used to aid cyber gangs abroad; two arrested
Hindustan Times West UP
|July 11, 2025
An international cybercrime racket involving fake SIM cards and WhatsApp OTP fraud linked to Southeast Asia was unearthed by Saharanpur's Cyber Crime Police following the arrest of two women, Huma and Antarfa, on Wednesday, and interrogation of Mohtasin, who is already lodged in jail, police said on Thursday.
Police said the arrested women, both residents of Haridwar, were allegedly selling OTPs generated from fake SIM cards for Rs 80-Rs 100 per code, which were then shared in international WhatsApp groups. These codes gave cybercriminals based in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia access to Indian WhatsApp accounts, which were later used in online scams.
Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Ashish Tiwari explained that the racket involved large-scale issuance of fake SIM cards using forged Aadhaar data.

Asrani & the trap of the Bollywood stereotype
What will you remember Asrani for? Sholay? Abhimaan? Since the death of the veteran actor was announced, a lot of obituaries and fan-posts on social media have mentioned his iconic dialogue from Sholay \"Hum angrezon ke zamane ke jailer hain\" (I am a jailor of the British era). Asrani acted in more than 300 films in Hindi and Gujarati. Some small, some big.

Viksit Bharat vision needs to have room for animals
When you navigate the distance between wood-panelled conference rooms in New Delhi to dusty tehsil offices, one lesson keeps returning to your desk, like a live file: India’s policies are at their best when they reflect our Constitution’s moral imagination, and not merely our administrative convenience.
