ED busts Cambodia-linked SIM racket; 5,300 cards used to dupe Indians

The ED had conducted search operations at seven premises across Kishangarh (Ajmer), Nagaur and Jodhpur in Rajasthan and Ludhiana (Punjab) on June 5 under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, in connection with a cyberfraud by a Malaysian national. It is alleged that Indian mobile numbers were fraudulently activated by the point of sale (POS) vendors and supplied to the accused, who subsequently operated from Cambodia for committing cyberfrauds in India.
