FIR Registered at Porompat PS for Selling Activated SIM Cards on Fake Identities
In a major crackdown on illegal SIM card distribution, Porompat Police Station has registered an FIR against individuals involved in selling activated SIM cards using fake identity documents and impersonation. These SIM cards have been found in the possession of anti-social and underground elements engaged in extortion and intimidation of the general public.
During the investigation of a recent criminal case, authorities discovered that a SIM card used by a cadre of an underground outfit was issued in the name of an unsuspecting individual who had no knowledge of its existence. This revelation has raised serious concerns about security breaches in mobile service registration processes.
Following these findings, multiple raids were conducted, and authorities have assured that further operations will continue to curb the illegal trade of such SIM cards.
Law enforcement has also issued a stern warning to mobile service providers, emphasizing the need for strict periodic verification of SIM card registrations at all levels. Any lapse in verification may lead to stringent legal action against the concerned telecom operators or individuals involved in the malpractice.
The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious SIM card activities to the authorities to prevent their misuse by anti-social elements.
