Can I get my SIM card reissued from the sim operator if its in police


02-Dec-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Police has taken my phone and the sim in it in police custody with any proper documents stating the requirement of my phone and sim in it. It is a 420 which involved me for a investigation. The SIM card in the phone is attached to my bank account, credit card portal, aadhaar, extra. To access my credit card portal i need to enter OTP thats sent to that sim number. Can i get the sim card reissued atleast for the sake of opening my portal and paying the due fees? Or is it not recommended to get my SIM card reissued if its in the police custody?

It is recommended that you get a new SIM and get the details changed in your accounts wherever they are. That would be the most suitable and safe thing to do. Kindly follow up if you need more advice.

Hello, if the mobile or sim is the evidence in the case then I would suggest you not to proceed with duplicate sim otherwise it will create another problem for you. In this case we have to approach the concerned Hon'ble High Court for the same if you are not the main accused or the mobile is not related to the crime in the question and the Hon'ble High Court will grant you permission to take your sim back from the police themselves.

your phone was confiscated in concern to an offence, yes without any legal issue you can apply and receive a new s card for the same number which was of that sim. moreover you can also apply for the delivery of possession of simcard from phone through court also.
