Police probe Assam SIM mystery in Bengaluru con job
Conmen cheated a landowner of Rs 1.6 lakh by posing as officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
While such con jobs aren’t uncommon, what has stumped the police is the fact that the fraudsters used Assam-registered SIMs to make phone calls. They bought the SIMs from Hosur, and police believe the Tamil Nadu city is becoming a thriving hub for selling SIMs from outside the state for such illegal activities.
Y Srinivasa Reddy, 68, is a trustee of Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Niketan, Bagepalli, and also owns real estate on the Bengaluru-Hyderabad national highway (number 44).
