Desecration of the Islamic holy book? That’s only for the kuffar, you greasy Islamophobe. Using it for the purposes of jihad isn’t desecration at all. Anyway, this reveals yet again the weakness and naivete of prison officials both in India and in the West. These men are using the SIM cards for criminal activity, and they know they can use the Qur’an to get the SIM cards into prison, because officials are anxious to show respect for the Islamic holy book. They got caught this time, but it’s likely that all sorts of material has gotten through in this way.
“PFI Terrorists using Qurans to smuggle SIM cards into jail,” Hindu Post, November 7, 2022:
Kerala police registered a case against relatives of a Popular Front of India (PFI) terrorist, presently lodged in high-security Viyuur Central jail in Thrissur district, for smuggling a SIM card concealed in a Quran. The incident occurred on October 31, when TS Sainudeen’s father, Mohd. Nasar, wife, Nadira, and son Mohd. Yaseen came to meet him.
On detailed examination, the police found a SIM card hidden somewhere in a Quran that Sainudeen’s family had brought. Sainuddin hails from Peruvanthanam in Idukki and was the Kottayam district secretary of the PFI. In September, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) officers arrested him and other PFI leaders in a pre-dawn swoop.
On the complaint of the Jail Superintendent, the Viyyur Police registered a case against all three visitors. Police are looking to find the owner of the SIM card, and some reports suggest that Sainudeen was using the same SIM before his arrest. Meanwhile, the NIA has also taken cognizance of the matter. An investigation has been initiated into the incident.
A case was registered under non-bailable sections of the Prisoners Act for smuggling prohibited items into the jail. After checking and confirming the address on the SIM, further steps will be taken. The SIM card has been forwarded to Cyber Cell for verification. NIA might register cases under the UAPA since the matter involves national security.
The police said the accused would be taken into custody after checking the SIM address. The police started investigating the day after the transfer took place. It has been almost a week since the incident, and no arrests have been made as yet.
The incident has strengthened allegations that terrorist inmates use mobile phones inside prisons. However, security officers could not find any mobile phones in the jail. Earlier, the police, during a raid, had recovered mobile phones and chargers from the Viyyur Central Prison….

And I’m sure that Infidels are pressured not to look in Qur’ans. At least it wasn’t weapons this time…
