The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) have dismantled an illicit mobile recharging operation in Gilgit, arresting a suspect in the process. The joint operation targeted a residential property near NLI Market, following intelligence about SIMs being exploited for remote account recharging, capitalizing on Gilgit-Baltistan's tax-exempt status.
During the raid, authorities confiscated 75 mobile phones and 600 active SIM cards as evidence. The NCCIA has filed a case and is conducting further investigations. The PTA emphasized that the use of illicit SIMs contravenes telecom regulations, enables tax evasion, and can lead to revenue losses for the government. The authority pledged to maintain its collaboration with law enforcement against illegal SIM issuance and misuse.
