'Indian SIM in exchange for PAK visa’, Danish was an ISI agent, used to get this work done by spies
After this, in the last 1 week, many accused spying for Pakistan in India have been arrested from many states of India like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh. All of them were in contact with ISI handlers posted in the Pakistani High Commission, Ehsan-ur Rahim alias Danish or Muzammil Hussain alias Sam Hashmi.
'Indian SIM in exchange for PAK visa’
After arresting these accused, it has come to light that ISI agents Danish and Muzammil posted in the Pakistani High Commission had ordered Indian SIM cards from these spying accused. For example, Arif, arrested from Nuh in Haryana, told the investigating agencies that the employees working in the Pakistani High Commission from 2018 to 2024 had asked him for Indian SIM cards in exchange for visas several times. Let us tell you that on May 13, India had asked Pakistani High Commission official Danish to leave the country.
Pakistani High Commission had ordered Indian SIM cards from these spying accused
In such a situation, intelligence sources informed media agency that the business of asking for SIM cards in exchange for visas has been running continuously by ISI handlers working in the Pakistani High Commission for the last 5 years. Their target is less educated and Indians living in rural areas, whose relatives live in Pakistan, and they want visa to go to Pakistan.

ISI agents posted in the Pakistani High Commission used to order SIM cards from them and in the last 2 years, more than a thousand SIM cards of Indian numbers have been ordered.
Why do ISI handlers need Indian SIM cards?
Now the big question arises that what did the ISI handlers sitting in the Pakistani High Commission do with the SIM cards of Indian numbers? A source from the Indian intelligence agency, who investigated this racket, informed ABP News that the SIM cards with Indian numbers were used by ISI and its handlers in three ways.

ISI handlers working in the Pakistani High Commission never used to talk to their spies from their own Indian numbers. They always used to talk to their spies from the same Indian numbers, which were provided to them either by the visa applicant or by one of their own spies, because if their spy is caught, then they have the option of deniability that the number is not theirs and the allegations of the investigating agency are baseless.

Since the conversation on the call is always done through the encrypted platform Telegra, for example, the spyware being sent to Indian soldiers and policemen on WhatsApp since 2023 is being sent from Indian numbers with 91 code and the ISI handlers posted in the High Commission used to get the hackers sitting in the ISI Cyber Command Center in Islamabad to log in to WhatsApp from these numbers, so that the Indian Army and Police could be spied upon and their phones could be hacked.
The third and the biggest use of these Indian SIM cards is done by ISI to hack the phones of soldiers and policemen of Jammu and Kashmir or to collect secret information from them.
Many examples have come to light
According to intelligence sources, ISI always plays such a safe game, so that its nefarious work is done and no questions are raised on it. Today there are many such apps and websites on the internet which give the number of any country code for money, but ISI always fears that if they buy e-SIM from these apps or websites and if these apps or websites give the data of the buyer and the buyer country to India through Indian agencies, then its secret will be revealed.
That is why the SIM card racket is run by ISI's posted handlers sitting in the High Commission.
According to intelligence sources, the fourth biggest reason for the modus operandi of SIM card is that for the last several years ISI has been running a misinformation campaign on social media in India, so that civil war breaks out in India or its agenda succeeds. In such a situation, these Indian SIM cards also play an important role in this.
For example, on the day of Pran Pratishtha of Ram Mandir in India, #BabriZindaHai trended on X and Facebook.
Thousands of people had tweeted on this trend, but reverse analysis revealed that the first tweet was from Pakistan in which the hashtag was introduced, then the remaining 70% tweets were being shown from Indian IPs and the hashtag was trending in India, while more than half of the X accounts from which these 70% tweets were made were from Pakistan.
Connected with ISI and the terror network
The last and the biggest link of this modus card is connected with ISI and the terror network. According to intelligence sources, ISI handlers and terrorist commanders sitting in Pakistan also talk to terrorists who have come to India to do business by activating Whatsapp or Telegram or Signal or any other encrypted app from Indian SIMs, so that after being killed in an encounter or after being caught, no clue of conversation with Pakistan is found, they also get a large number of numbers from the Sim Card Modus Operadi of the High Commission.
