Manish Bisi and his friend Khemraj remembered the experience of interviewing Virat Kohl and AB de Villiers that they were “something of the movie” after getting the number of rajat Patidar in the mixes of the SIM card. Manish received a SIM card from a local mobile store near his village Madagaon in the Chhattisgarh district in the GariaBand district and was in shock for life because the number previously belonged to Patidar.
Soon, Manish and his friend Khemraj went through calls from reputable cricketsIncluding Kohl and de Villiers. Initially, the duo saw that Patidar’s picture appeared when they installed WhatsApp and thought it was a systemic defect. Soon, however, they began to call, which they thought they were part of their friends.
Later Manish and Khemraj called from Patidar on July 15, who asked them to return this number. They understood the seriousness of the matter when the police arrived at their threshold to solve the matter. The duo, however, was enthusiastic about the whole episode, and Khemraj tried to hide his excitement after talking to his idol Kohli.
“I never imagined that one day I would talk to Virat Kohl, also from our village. When he called AB de Villiers, he spoke English. We didn’t understand the word, but we were so excited,” Khemraj said, as PTI quoted.
“When Manish used to call, he gave me a phone. Calls who identified themselves as a virat kohli and Yash Dayal asked us why we were using Patidar’s number. We explained to them that we bought a new SIM and this is our number.”
Manish’s brother said that the villagers were also excited about the whole mix, because most of them are RCB fans.
The villagers are enthusiastic because most people here are RCB fans and talk to legends like Kohli and De Villiers, there is something that cannot be described and even now seems like a dream, Manis’s brother Deshbandh Bisi.
“Even though it was all because of the mix, these conversations came out of absolute happiness.
No foul
Representative of police director Gariaband Non Sinha said that SIM Patidar was deactivated after 90 days of inactivity according to telecommunications policies and was assigned to a new customer in this case.
Sinha said there was no legal problem or error by someone.
“Manish actually received calls from crickets who were in contact with Rajat Patidar. Patidar reported the cyber cell Madhya Pradesh that his number was assigned to someone else and asked to be back.”
“There was no legal problem or error on the part of someone. This was simply the result of standard telecommunications procedures,” Sinha added.
With the approval of Manish and his family, the SIM card was recently returned to Patidar.
