Early Times Report

Kishtwar, June 30: In a major success, Doda police is Jammu and Kashmir has unearthed a racket of selling SIM Cards by vendors on fake verification-thus prevented a major tragedy as the same SIMS cards may have fallen into the hands of Anti National and criminals elements.
Doda Police told the Early Times that a SIM card vendor namely Zaffer Hussain @ Jaffer Hussain S/o Noor Mohammad Matoo R/o Dudwar Tehsil Gandoh used to hoodwink both the administration as well as the common masses by issuing the SIM cards on fake identities thereby putting the innocents, whose name were used, into trouble, if the SIM is used otherwise to carry forward anti national activities or other criminal activities.
The whole of the racket as per the Doda Police was being run by using the official website of Chief Electoral Officer J&K viz ceojk.nic.in, in which first they used to visit the website, open it, copy and paste a CQR number as well as other details of a voter viz his name, address, parentage and then filling this information in a fake electoral card, after that by using the App, adobe photoshop, they print the photo of the customer into it thereby generating a new electoral card with address and name remaining same but having a photograph of some other person beside the then— the recent photograph of the customer is clicked and sent for verification along with the fake electoral card thus a new SIM gets issued to a person having fake identity.
The police said that the above named SIM card vendor had been running the racket since long along with his associates namely Mohammad Tayab S/o Mohammad Iqbal R/o Gandoh.
During initial investigation, it has been found that the vendor has issued almost (39) fake SIMs to different persons and there is an apprehension of increasing this number in coming days as the investigation move forward and when more complete information forms of the SIMs issued by the vendor is received at the ends of Police. A case FIR No. 45/2022 U/S 420/467/468/120B IPC stands registered in this context at Police Station Gandoh.
“It would not be an exaggeration to say that a large number of fake SIMs have been issued to both netizens and outsiders by such vendors across the District which may prove fatal for security as well as law and order of the District” said Doda police added that “It may also support in carrying forward the diabolical plans of anti-national elements. However, the process has already been set into motion to identify such vendors across the District so that they may be brought to book at an earliest.
