Barabanki, Dec 14 : The Barabanki police in Uttar Pradesh has busted a gang of criminals from Nagpur which allegedly sold mobile phones without International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers.
Senior officials said though no mobile phone can connect to any cellular network if it does not have an IMEI number, the seized mobile handsets had proper connectivity. Such phones may pose a threat to the country s security and we have decided to inform the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) about the seizure for a detailed probe, said a senior police official.
