Bengaluru central crime branch has arrested Malappuram (Kerala) native Ibrahim Pullattil (36) and his companion for running a parallel telephone exchange illegally in the city. This facility was used to connect foreign calls with the local people without connecting to the authorised telephone exchange.
During the search, 30 sim-box devices capable of handling 960 SIM cards were found.
The investigating agency is probing the terror angle since there is a high probability of using this facility for terrorism-related activities.
