Overview
- Gurugram Cyber Police arrested three men identified as Karma, Lobsang Tsultim and Ngawang Gyaltsen, seizing a 20‑port SIM box and a laptop, with the trio sent to judicial custody.
- Investigators say Karma and Tsultim installed virtual SIM boxes on instructions from a Chinese national named Tsega, with communications routed over WeChat and links traced to Kathmandu.
- The latest arrests follow the February 10–11 detention of Kung Panmae in Sector‑28, where a virtual SIM box setup, multiple phones and network gear were found; police are searching for her husband.
- In a separate Kolkata probe tied to a Rs 3 crore digital‑arrest extortion, police arrested Abir Sheikh and Mohammad Amjad and recovered about 2,250 SIM cards, multiple routers, phones and SIM box machines.
- Authorities describe SIM boxes as illegal call‑routing gateways that let fraudsters place high‑volume calls that appear domestic, and say wider accomplice networks and cross‑border suppliers remain under investigation.
