The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) Zonal Office in Lahore worked with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Cyber Crime Circle to successfully operate against a Telenor franchisee located at Jampur Road in DG Khan.
This franchisee was discovered to be involved in unlawfully providing SIM cards. During the operation, the authorities seized 17 BVS devices, 1 laptop, 360 active SIM cards, and 1,000 scanned images of fingerprints from the laptops as evidence. Two individuals were arrested at the location by the FIA, who are currently conducting further investigations.
PTA had lodged complaints with FIA based on information regarding this sales channel's unlawful distribution of SIM cards. These raids demonstrate PTA's commitment to eliminating the illegal issuance of SIM cards, as stated by PTA in a statement.
