Indore’s Crime Branch announced the arrest of three suspects as part of Operation Fast‑2.0, a crackdown on a network that supplied SIM cards to cyber‑fraudsters. The operation focused on identifying individuals who provided untraceable mobile connections that enable large‑scale online scams.
Authorities said the SIM cards were used in fraudulent activities that resulted in losses of approximately ₹84 lakh. The arrested persons are alleged to have sourced the cards and handed them over to fraud operators, facilitating anonymous communication with victims.
Police have confiscated the devices and related material, and the investigation continues to uncover additional members of the scheme. Further details will be released as the case progresses.
