Following the success of Operation Sindoor, Indian intelligence agencies have now shifted focus to individuals operating within the country who are suspected of aiding Pakistan. One such arrest is that of Jyoti Malhotra, a YouTuber from Haryana, who has been accused of leaking confidential Indian information to Pakistan’s ISI.
In a related case, a man named Saddiq has been apprehended from Deeg district in Rajasthan. According to reports, he was allegedly involved in funneling funds to Pakistan while operating from Indian soil. He was detained by the Special Task Force (STF) of Assam Police.
The Shocking Modus Operandi of Saddiq
Saddiq hails from Bela village in Sikri police station limits, Deeg, Rajasthan. His actions have stunned investigators. He is accused of using a Pakistan-registered SIM card to run a cyber fraud operation within India. The money he scammed was allegedly transferred across the border to Pakistan.
A mobile phone recovered from him contained records of financial transactions totaling ₹15 crore. The STF from Assam had been tracking this case after receiving intelligence, and upon verification, acted swiftly to arrest Saddiq.
Authorities believe the money earned through cybercrime was systematically routed to Pakistan — raising serious concerns about national security.
Disturbing Revelations by Police
According to the police, Saddiq was in possession of a SIM card registered under a fake address in Assam, which was later found to have been used inside Pakistan for several days. During questioning, Saddiq confessed he had brought the SIM card from Kashmir and used it extensively for fraudulent cyber activities.
He identified himself as Saddiq, son of Dhanna, resident of Bela village.
How Saddiq Landed on the Police Radar
The breakthrough came on March 25, when Assam’s Guwahati Special Task Force (STF) arrested a man named Zakaria Ahmed, who was involved in selling SIM cards. During interrogation, Zakaria admitted to having sold thousands of SIMs — one of which had been traced operating in Pakistan.
This tip-off triggered an investigation that led officials to Bela village in Rajasthan. A team led by STF SSP Kalyan Kumar Pathak tracked the SIM’s activity and conducted a raid that uncovered Saddiq’s involvement.
Five Mobile Phones Seized – A Major Red Flag
Police were surprised to find five mobile phones in Saddiq’s possession. Typically, individuals may carry two phones — but five raised immediate suspicion. One of these phones reportedly contained detailed logs of transactions amounting to ₹15 crore.
Currently, Assam’s STF is deeply investigating the cross-border money trail and SIM card usage. Although officials are withholding further comment pending the probe, the evidence points to a dangerous cybercrime network with international links.
