Mobile companies in identity theft racket in Himachal Pradesh
Posted by Himachal Live News on Sep 27th, 2011

Shimla (Sept 27): Investigation carried out by Himachal Live on the 
overall working of the mobile companies in Himachal Pradesh have brought 
shocking revelations. As per report in Medianama there were 65,86,567 
connections in Himachal Pradesh. The report in Medianama mentioned there 
was a decrease of 1,83,157 connections in the month of January 2011 when 
compared to the figures of December 2010 which stood at a whooping 
67,69,724 connections.

These figures were mind blowing when the official population figure of the 
state stood at 60,77,248 as per Himachal Government website.

Amazed at the massive figures of mobile connections active in Himachal 
Pradesh we decided to look into the figures but stumbled on something else 
- Identity Theft.
