This is just ridiculous all are involved in this crime PTA and the mobile operators . Why sim's are being activated if PTA has imposed just 5 connections on a single customer but here the OMO gives something to PTA and then u can have as many sims activated as u want. retailer activated 450 sims on a single name in just 2 hours.
