Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications, advises citizens to beware of malicious incoming calls from international numbers claiming to cause disruption in India’s stock exchanges and trading. 

Such malicious calls are initiated by anti-national elements aimed at creating panic.

The DoT has directed all the telecom service providers to block malicious calls from such numbers. 

Citizens, on receiving such calls, are advised to report to DoT at help-sancharsaathi@gov.in or their telecom service providers.
