New Delhi: Frauds have multiplied in today’s era as digital transactions and information sharing are the norm. Cybercriminals have been stealing from the weaker segments of society, including occasionally tech experts and pros. According to a Times of India story, the authorities in Andhra Pradesh discovered 658 SIM cards connected to one Aadhaar card in the most recent case.
According to the site, the police wrote to the relevant service providers and requested that they revoke the SIM cards. The SIM cards were registered in the name of Polukonda Naveen, who supplies kiosks and stores that sell mobile phones with them.

On one Aadhaar card, a person is permitted to have nine SIM cards, per Department of Telecom (DoT) regulations. Large families have access to a provision that allows several connections to be made with just one Aadhaar number.
