Now here’s something interesting….

Shweta and Manav

Hmmmm,

Recognise the couple in the pic above ? Ya ya, go ahead and click the pic for a bigger view. They’re pretty frequent on TV. And they are in the new lately ?

Why ?? , you may ask. Well, they recently purchased 200 BPL SIM Cards from a Communications SHOP in Andheri, Mumbai.

Why ?? , you may ask again ? Well, the “Thane Cyber Crime Cell” cops who were investigating a case of “lewd SMSs” from a particular number stumbled upon the fact that the couple above had purchased 200 Sim Cards to be distributed among friends and Relatives, so that they could send in SMSs in favour of the couple in the Popular gameshow “Nach Baliye” telecasted on the “Star One” channel.

OK, now I don’t know what you people may call this, but i surely consider this as “CHEATING“. And what a way to CHEAT !!

OK, also, as it turned out, the lewd SMS’s sent to a thane housewife was from a number out of the 200 numbers the couple had bought.

Hmmm… this is getting more interesting…

Hmmm, interesting…

WHAT THE LAW SAYS

A person needs to submit the following papers for verification in order to obtain a pre-paid connection:

    Well, this IS India.

    The losers blockd my SIM for a day yesterday and forced me to provide residence proof for the second time.

    A proper terrorist would have plenty of fake id.
