India’s top intelligence agency arrested a suspected key conspirator accused of supplying fraudulently obtained SIM cards to cybercriminal networks, as part of the agency’s ongoing anti-cybercrime initiative, Operation Chakra-V.

According the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the suspect was apprehended in the North Eastern city of Guwahati after allegedly evading authorities since August 2025. Investigators say the accused played a central role in procuring and distributing illegally issued mobile SIM cards that were later used in a range of cyber-enabled fraud schemes.
