No SIM sale sans identity proof: DCP


Ambala, November 30
The Ambala police has decided to take action against shopkeepers selling mobile phone SIM cards without getting valid identity proofs from customers. Shashank Anand, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), yesterday passed orders under Section 144 of the CrPC.
It was now mandatory for all retailers and dealers in the district engaged in the sale of mobile phone connections and SIM cards to submit daily sales reports with complete details to the nearest police station.
Anand further said it had been found that some retailers had sold mobile phone connections without ascertaining valid identities of subscribers, which posed serious danger to the security of the nation.
Any person found guilty of violation of the orders would be liable to be punished under Section 188 of the IPC and FIRs would be registered against such shopkeepers.
