These SIMs and Wallets were sold to various cyber criminals and PIO (Pakistani Intelligence Operatives).Some of the pre-activated SIMs and wallets were used by PIOs/ISI agents who are located inside Pakistan mainly from Karachi and Balochistan. Further investigation in this regard is going on, the STF official said.During investigation, the task force officials found that the accused used to generate multiple SIMs on the same identity by fooling the unsuspecting customers on the pretext of some technical glitches.For activation of different wallets, i.e., PhonePe, Google Pay and others, the registered mobile phone numbers (which are linked with the bank account) were mandatory.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
