Man With Rs 25,000 Reward Held For Supplying Indian SIM Cards To Pakistan
District Superintendent of Police Hari Shankar said the operation was carried out under directions from the Inspector General of Police, Bikaner Range. Anupgarh police and CID (IB) strengthened their intelligence network after receiving information about suspicious activities. Investigators said Singh, a resident of Village 27 A in Anupgarh, was allegedly moving through the border region to supply SIM cards belonging to Indian citizens to Pakistani handlers.
Police allege the SIM cards were used in Pakistan to activate WhatsApp accounts linked to Indian mobile numbers. Singh was reportedly working at the direction of Pakistani handlers, with activities detrimental to India's sovereignty, unity, integrity and security. A case has been registered at Anupgarh police station, and Singh has been arrested.
He is currently being interrogated, with investigators seeking details about associates and the broader network involved in transporting SIM cards across the border. Police are probing communication links with Pakistani handlers and identifying others who may have been part of the racket.
Authorities said Singh was also wanted in a case registered at Jaitsar police station – Case No. 102/2026 – under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. A reward of Rs 25,000 had been announced for information leading to his arrest in that case.
The operation was conducted by a team comprising Anupgarh SHO Kartar Singh, Intelligence Officer Pawan Kumar, Constables Keshar Singh and Thakraram, along with personnel from the Sri Ganganagar CID (IB). The investigation is ongoing.
