Kolkata Cops recover 4,700 SIMs used for fraud

KOLKATA: Cops have recovered over 4,700 pre-activated SIM cards since February from various cyber crooks who have been arrested across the country. Interestingly, most of these SIM cards were activated in Kolkata and its adjoining areas.

Cops seized over 2,000 pre-activated SIM cards from six men who have links with Jamtara gangs. Two of the accused — Alok Das and Ranajit Chakraborty — were arrested from Sonarpur on Monday night. Earlier, the Parnasree Police and Sarsuna police had seized over 2,700 such pre-activated SIM cards between February and April.
