Ahmedabad Dummy SIM scandals, read report
Think ten times before buying a sim card from any place; otherwise, the dummy sim card will be activated by using your document remotely, and later it will be in the hands of any criminal. Criminals use dummy SIM cards to commit crimes.
Two days ago, a team from the Special Operation Group (SOG) took action against the production of 38 dummy SIM cards. So yesterday, SOG filed a case against those who made 138 dummy SIM cards in Shah Alam and 83 SIM cards on CG Road.
Terrorists, bootleggers, cricket bookies, etc., use dummy SIM cards to commit crimes. If any person wants to get a SIM card, he has to fill CAF (Common Application Form).
When necessary, documents, including an Aadhaar card and photographs, must be given along with it. After filling out the form, the person leaves with the SIM card. But then, based on that document, several SIM cards become active.
It is called a dummy SIM card. To fulfil the telecom company’s target or earn money with a shortcut, the gangs are selling dummy SIM cards by activating them.
The youth activated 138 SIM cards using his photo to complete the target. Based on the information provided by the ATS team, the SOG team has registered a case of cheating against Aman Rasheed Biyawarwala (residence, Aslam Apartment, Astodia).
We had a mobile store called RR Communication in Khan Plaza at Shah Alam. He founded the store of Airtel company. Airtel company used to give a target to sell SIM cards. Due to this, we made a plan to activate the dummy SIM card.
To avoid losing the business, he used to use the customers’ documents and activated the SIM card by filling out the form in the application and uploading his photographs.
He also used to download other people’s documents by searching for us on Google and later prepared a SIM card. Airtel store was closed to us during the Corona period. However, he had created 138 SIM cards by creating bogus documents by then.
Activated 83 SIM cards using photographs of employees. The AOG yesterday also filed a case of cheating against Jaymin Parmar (Resident of Sattelai Complex, Bodakdev) and Faizan.
A call centre for selling credit cards was running at CG Road, Emerald Complex. Jaymin Parmar, who runs the call centre, has activated 83 SIM cards based on the documents of his employees.
A young man named Faizan used to sell SIM cards by placing an umbrella on the public road, with the help of which 83 SIM cards were activated.
