Odisha Police claim to have busted a dangerous scam in which mobile SIM cards were being procured in India for the use of Pakistani spies.
The Special Task Force of Odisha Police on May 14, 2023, arrested 3 persons for allegedly procuring a large number of SIM cards in a fraudulent manner.
They allegedly shared one-time passwords with intelligence operatives in Pakistan and some criminals in India.
Police said that using the OTPs, the Pakistani spies created accounts on social media like Facebook and Instagram, messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, and even shopping websites like Amazon and Flipkart.
The accounts would appear to have been made in India, while actually being operated from Pakistan.
