The Kalachowkie police have uncovered a major e-SIM supply network in Maharashtra linked to cybercrime syndicates in Cambodia. The police arrested Rahul Bagul, 33, from Jalgaon for allegedly generating and supplying over 400 India-based e-SIMs to operators involved in digital arrest and cyber-fraud scams.
Police said Bagul created multiple e-SIMs using local credentials and passed them to an associate in Cambodia. These were used to make untraceable VoIP calls, allowing scamsters to pose as police or enforcement officials.
