Hutch Haryana in trouble

Posted on | June 6, 2006 |

Hutch is in trouble with authorities in Haryana because close to 50% its users in the circle have been issued SIM cards on the basis of forged identity documents.

Superintendent of Police Kaithal, Navdeep Singh Virk told media that the total subscriber base of Hutch in Haryana Circle as on April 30, 2006 is 3,73,801 and nearby half these mobiles were issued allegedly on forged identity documents.

Two FIR’s were already registered against top executives of both companies, Virk said, adding most of these prepaid connections had fallen into the hands of criminals and anti-social elements here.

A Hutch company spokesman said the issue of subscriber verification was not unique to the company and its policy was to consistently reinforce implementation of the subscriber verification process with its trade representatives and partners.
