DoT asks telcos to reverify 6.8 lakh suspect mobile connections

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is initiating a re-verification process for approximately 6.8 lakh mobile connections suspected of being obtained through forged documents. These connections, flagged by advanced AI-driven analysis, are believed to have used fake or invalid proof of identity and address documents. Telcos have been directed to complete the re-verification within 60 days, with failure resulting in disconnection.
