In an effort to contain the growing cybercrimes, the city police in the last month have permanently blocked over 15,000 SIM cards used by cyber crooks.
The city police commissioner B. Dayananda said that the government portal launched recently to track down SIM cards used in cyber crimes has come in handy in blocking these SIM cards successfully.
These SIM cards are used to call multiple people randomly and cheat them. Fraudsters have availed these connections through fake identity documents and loopholes in the Know Your Customer (KYC) form. Police have identified these loopholes and are trying to resolve these issues to minimise offences.
