Reliance Jio has alleged that Bharti Airtel is offering incoming calls on prepaid connections in Jammu and Kashmir despite government’s order to suspend the services, a charge denied by the incumbent operator.
Bharti Airtel, in turn, filed a counter complaint against Reliance Jio before the Department of Telecom alleging that the new entrant has continued mobile services by disguising prepaid connections as postpaid ones.
According to sources, in its compliance letter submitted before Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, on May 29, Jio alleged that Airtel has allowed incoming calls for prepaid subscriber in clear violation of the government order issued by IGP Kashmir.
The company has demanded “stringent action” against Airtel for non-compliance and violation of government order in the submission.
When contacted Airtel denied the charge and responded with counter-allegation that Jio has violated rules in the states by disguising pre-paid connections as post-paid ones to bypass the the order.
“These allegations are completely false, baseless and only go to highlight the growing frustration of Jio. We would urge Jio to gather all the facts and not resort to kite flying. Airtel has always been and will continue to be in full compliance of all regulations and guidelines,” Airtel spokesperson said.
