New Delhi:23/7/26:Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has developed ASTR, which is an artificial intelligence and big data analytics tool that identifies suspicious mobile connections. As of 15.7.2026, more than 88 lakh such mobile connections have been disconnected after failing reverification.

Chakshu facility of Sanchar Saathi enables citizens to report suspected fraud communications. Rather than acting on individual reported suspected fraud communications, DoT uses the crowd-sourced data to carry out analysis and to zero down on misuse of telecom resources. As on 15.7.2026, based on 11.18 lakh reports of suspected fraud communication shared by citizens on Sanchar Saathi, 50.90 lakh mobile connections have been disconnected.

Under the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961, matters relating to cybercrime are allocated to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Further, ‘Police’ and ‘Public Order’ are State subjects as per the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. However, DoT has developedthe  Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP) for bi-directional information sharing with stakeholders, includingthe  Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) of MHA, for prevention of misuse of telecom resources for cyber-crimes and financial frauds.

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued advisories to its regulated entities for onboarding on DIP for information sharing. DoT has conducted sessions on DIP for the regulated entities of SEBI, and more than 50 such entities are onboarded on DIP.

This information was given by the Union Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development, D r. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
