Don’t pick up Unknown numbers

In another tweet, Delhi police is encouraging customers to not pick up any call that is unknown. It may be a trap and the scammer will make your obscene videos without your awareness and can blackmail you.

अंजान नंबर से आई वीडियो कॉल मुसीबत बन सकती है। बिना आपकी सहभागिता के आपका अश्लील वीडियो बनाकर ब्लैकमेल किया जा सकता है।

किसी अंजान नंबर से आई वीडियो कॉल से न जुड़ें और न ही कोई भुगतान करें।
