💨 Abstract

Investigations into a "white-collar" terror module linked to a blast near Delhi’s Red Fort revealed that educated doctors used ghost SIM cards and encrypted apps to communicate with Pakistani handlers. This led the Department of Telecommunications to mandate that apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal must be linked to an active SIM card. The accused doctors used dual phones—one for personal use and another for encrypted communications.
