“The basic issue is that SIM cards can be easily procured in large numbers over a period of time. It is a security hazard. We are now registering cases if anyone procures a SIM with a fake ID. What has been happening is that photocopies of older ID proofs are being to obtain new SIM cards. We are investigating this,” Hyderabad Police Commissioner Balwinder Singh told The Sunday Express.
Similar purchases were discovered in West Bengal, which is where the fictious name of Babulal Yadav first came to light. However, that was a case of six SIM cards. The prospect of over 50 cards out in the open is what has rung alarm bells here.
