Rs 1.83 lakh fine imposed on telecom company

The Telecom Department has imposed a fine of Rs 1.83 lakh on a telecom company action taken after a report was submitted by Cyber Police.

The main reason for this action was that the cyber police had asked the telecom company to investigate and block the suspected SIM. Actually cyber fraudsters do fraud by taking SIM cards from others’ IDs. In the investigation, the police could not reach the thugs because the SIMs were at each other’s addresses. Due to which the cyber police had urged the telecom company to block the suspected SIM but the telecom company was negligent in supporting police.
