The unlawful sale of SIM cards that have been activated using fictitious identification documents is being looked into by Manipur Police. Porompat Police Station has received a case. According to officials, criminal organizations have been using these SIM cards for extortion and threats, posing major security hazards. Numerous SIM cards were issued under false pretenses, according to a recent inquiry. While the true owners were unaware that their names were being abused, some of these cards were utilized for illicit purposes by underground organizations. Police conducted many raids and pledged to take further action.
In order to prevent such fraud, they have also advised telecom firms to enhance their verification procedure. As they attempt to prevent criminals from abusing mobile networks, authorities warn that any noncompliance would result in severe legal punishment. A scheme that issued fraudulent invoices worth Rs 658.55 crore without any supply of commodities was discovered earlier this week by the Central GST Commissionerate of Itanagar. The Itanagar police had arrested two masterminds of the phony racket, Ashutosh Kumar Jha and Bipin Kumar Jha, from Darbhanga, Bihar, based on a Central GST FIR. The two were arrested on February 3 by the Central GST, Itanagar, in accordance with Section 69 of the CGST Act, 2017.
