SIMs procured in BSF officer’s name, authorities worried


from The Indian ExpressMon Nov 01 2010,Srinagar:
Seizure of some application forms for SIM cards have sent alarm bells ringing across the security establishment in Jammu and Kashmir. Reason: the forms have “forged” signatures of a Border Security Force (BSF) officer.
The 46 applications forms with “forged” signatures and stamp of a top BSF intelligence officer were seized by the police from an Aircel outlet in Kupwara in north Kashmir.
“We have seized application forms that have purportedly forged identities,” SP V K Birdhi told The Indian Express. “The raid was conducted after BSF shared a tip-off with us”.
Police are now hunting for the three men who allegedly procured the SIMs using the forged forms, Birdhi said. “We have registered an FIR and are investigating the case,” he said. Sources said police are also probing whether the SIM cards have landed in the hands of militants.
