The Yellow Gate police on Saturday arrested a 44-year-old man for allegedly distributing Reliance SIM cards on bogus documents. The distributor has been arrested on charges of cheating and forgery. The arrested person has been identified as Rameshkumar Jain, a resident of Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar in Ghatkopar (East).
According to the police, on January 23, a Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) jawan Babban Mane had brought one Abdul Kalam Mahbulla Khan, 73, a resident of Selfi Society in Kurla (W) to Yellow Gate police station.
"Khan had 14 SIM cards in his possession. He was caught by the sea port immigration authorities on that day during an inspection of MV Gloria, a cargo vessel that was at the dock. The police then took custody of SIM cards for investigation purpose," said an officer from Yellow Gate police station.
The police wanted to know of which company the cards were and on whose name, to whom they have been allotted, whether the required documents were submitted to the telecom company for procuring the cards as proof, why were the cards in possession of Khan and whether Khan had the required pass to enter the dock?
"While investigating on these lines, we learnt that the cards belonged to Reliance company. The addresses and names that were given to procure the cards turned out to be bogus. As per Khan, the cards were being sold by a retailer at the Masjid Bunder area. In order to activate the cards, Aadhar card photocopies were submitted to Reliance company and the said photocopies were stamped by Nasim Communication at Govandi. However, the address of Nasim Communication could not be located," the officer said.
The investigation further revealed that Khan, distributor Jain and retailer Akshay Nikam conspired together to get the cards by submitting bogus documents to Reliance for monetary gains.
