Police seeks DoT’s help to solve mystery of calls from 15-digit numbers

Delhi Police PCR unit is receiving over 600 calls daily from "mysterious 15-digit" phone numbers, and it has now approached Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to trace their origin and suggest ways to deal with the situation. "A mobile number contains 10 digits while a landline number contains eight digits. But in the last couple of weeks, we have been receving calls from 15-digit numbers. When our officers pick up the calls, there is no response from the other end," said a senior police officer.
