The Bangur Nagar police have arrested the shopkeepers of two mobile stores who had allegedly been issuing SIM cards to gang members involved in cyber fraud on receiving forged documents. The matter came to light after the office of the state department of telecommunications (Dursanchar Mantralaya) at Andheri East alerted the network service provider concerned.
The arrested accused are Kamlesh Jayshree Prasad, who ran the Sneha telecom mobile shop at Ajanta Shopping Centre on Station Road in Kandivli West and Rajiv Ranjan, who ran the Om Mobile Shop on Carter Road No. 4 in Borivli East.
