The Indian security agencies have recently received vital intelligence from Pakistan, indicating a serious threat. According to the information, the prisoners in Pakistani jails are being targeted to obtain their mobile phones.
The Central Intelligence Agency has shared critical information with Indian agencies regarding the activities of the Pakistan-based ISI within India. They have discovered that mobile numbers belonging to fishermen from Maharashtra and Gujarat, who are currently imprisoned in Pakistani jails, are being used by Pakistani agents in India for secret communications.
Although the Central Agency does not possess specific information about their plans and movements, they suspect that the Pakistani agency may be engaging in illicit activities using these fishermen's SIM cards. As a result, they have requested the Indian agencies to develop a platform to block the SIM cards of apprehended fishermen and to obtain information about them in captivity in Pakistan.
According to a senior official, over the past couple of months, fishermen who had embarked on deep-sea fishing expeditions were apprehended by Pakistani security forces. The agency collected data and mobile numbers for further investigation. It was noticed that many fishermen’s numbers remained active despite their incarceration in Pakistani jails, spanning several months and years.
It was also observed during the investigation process that SIM cards were frequently swapped to different handsets and suspicious connections were made to India using these numbers. Furthermore, numerous services were activated on these numbers, including international roaming calls, WhatsApp calls, FaceApp calls, and a few fake social media profiles were created by suspected Pakistani agencies.
The investigation also revealed that Pakistani agencies tried to determine the origin of the SIM cards and customized plans to suit their specific requirements. The official stated that the ongoing investigation prohibits them from disclosing the recipients of the calls made from these fishermen's numbers.
It is believed that Pakistani agencies are currently utilizing the mobile phones of these fishermen for their suspected nefarious activities. The Central Agency has requested RAW to investigate the suspicious financial activities of PFI and its connections to the banned Pakistani terror group.
