It stated that this viral claim had spread across social media three years ago as well. Many Twitter users were claiming that Javed, who used these 10,000 SIM cards to allegedly create fake Facebook profiles of Brahmins and campaign for NOTA, was arrested in Ranchi. It also mentioned that the publication had earlier covered an ATS operation in Jharkhand “busting a SIM-card racket of cyber-criminals during a raid carried out at a flat in Hasiba Enclave of Kanta Toli and a house in Kanke, in Ranchi.” A total of over 7,000 SIM cards and SIM boxes were recovered from two homes in Ranchi’s Kanke and Kanta Toli. Three people were arrested in the case. Initial reports said that all the SIM cards were registered to one Javed Ahmad from Dubai. However, The Times of India, citing a report by The Telegraph, stated that the statements issued by police and the concerned ATS officer revealed that the SIM cards were in fact not registered to any person but to a company.<\/p>\n The Telegraph had reported on October 24 that a man had purchased 10,000 SIM cards but in a follow-up report<\/a> published the next day, the daily clarified that the SIM cards were actually issued in the name of a company and not a person. The article states, “Jharkhand police anti-terrorist squad (ATS) on Thursday clarified that 10,000 SIMs were issued to the company, One Excel, and not Javed himself.” The report further states, “Superintendent of Police P Murugan, who led this investigation, stated that One Excel Company is registered under the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). The sim cards were issued under the Airtel Corporate User Plan.” It is noteworthy that under a rule by TRAI, companies can buy SIM cards in bulk at once, while individuals are only allowed to purchase up to nine SIM cards using one identity card.<\/p>\n Alt News reached out to Anjani Anjan, SP of the Jharkhand ATS. “It was a registered promotions company. They had an agreement with several companies. Their documents were also verified. There is no ‘jihad’ angle to this. This firm sends bulk promotional messages for ordinary companies like Pantaloons. So, whoever had one of these SIM cards used them for these promotional activities. We did not find any criminal angle here, hence no case was registered,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n When we performed a keyword search on YouTube, we found the original video which was uploaded by Nitin Shukla, a verified account, on October 29, 2018. The viral video was, in fact, cropped from these visuals.<\/p>\n [youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RYpqLAB2E2k]<\/p>\n This video shows a screenshot of a news report at the 1:07 mark. This is from the first Telegraph article which stated that the SIM cards were registered to a person. However, this YouTuber did not include the updated report that was published the following day. Similarly, the screenshot with the bullet points appearing at the 1:58 mark is also part of the aforementioned article. We also discovered that the clip shown at 2:49 was taken from a report in The New Indian Express<\/a>. This had been published on October 25, 2018, at 12 noon. The Telegraph report was published at 6.38 PM, i.e after the police released their statement.<\/p>\n
