Rajouri, September 18
Following specific inputs about militants using the mobile services of operators in the district, the police has started checking the records of SIM cards.

The police has recovered about 70 mobile SIM cards of one of the leading private operator from Muhammad Iqbal (22), son of Israr Bhatt, a resident of Falni village.

Sources in the Police Department divulged that the police had clear-cut information that militants were using the mobile SIM cards of operators. They added that the police was even having the numbers being used by the militants and had put these numbers under surveillance.

The police decided in a meeting held a few days back to check the records of the outlet dealers and the company operators.

SHO Buddhal said neither the youth was having any letter from the mobile operators nor was he keeping any record of SIM cards issued through him. Meanwhile, the police sources are also not ruling out the nexus of some influential persons with a few company officials who may be getting the SIM cards through illegal means.
