[Resolved]  Airtel — My Active AIRTEL connection was disconnected & given to another Airtel new customer

Address:605001
Website:www.airtel.in

I am using the mobile number [protected] as airtel prepaid connection for the last 8 years. On feb 15, 2017 i was travelling india to denmark for a stay of about 5 months. I contacted airtel customer care to know if i need to activate safe custody while i am on travel. I was told that this option is available only for postpaid connection and they confirmed there will be no issues for prepaid connection. I was actively using the mobile phone even while i am in denmark. On 24 april i received an sms that i have made a request for migration of prepaid to postpaid and on 25 april my sim got disconnected. My number is now currently used by another person who got a new postpaid sim from airtel salem hasthampatti branch office. All my banking details and emails are linked to registered mobile number and airtel is not taking action to prevent my personal information being shared to another airtel customer. It was security breach from airtel. I request you please take action against this issue.
