Surat : In a significant operation, the Surat Police’s Special Operation Group (SOG) apprehended two suspects outside the Surat international airport and seized a staggering 192 pre-activated mobile SIM cards being smuggled to Dubai. The identities of the accused are yet to be revealed by the authorities.

Sources suggest that the racket of illegally exporting pre-activated SIM cards had been running for a considerable time. Acting on intel gathered over a period, the SOG team apprehended the accused who were allegedly transporting the pre-activated SIM cards to Dubai. Investigators believe the accused were mere carriers working for international groups seeking pre-activated Indian SIM cards in Dubai.

The Surat Police have commenced interrogation of the accused to unravel the entire network involved in supplying pre-activated SIM cards from Surat to Dubai. A crucial aspect of the investigation involves identifying the individuals in Dubai who employ carriers in Surat to procure these pre-activated cards.

The authorities have expressed surprise concerning the intended use of the pre-activated SIM cards in Dubai. A comprehensive investigation has been launched to apprehend the mastermind behind this large-scale SIM card racket. The Surat Police are determined to dismantle this operation and bring all those involved to justice.
