A doctor who received a call on his mobile from an unidentified number in November last year disconnected the line instantly because he could not decipher what the caller was saying.
The caller uttered something in Arabic that was beyond his comprehension.
It is only now when the police called the doctor for inquiry that he realised that the call was from an accomplice of the terrorists, who attacked Mumbai last year.

Rakesh Maria, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), said, "None of the people knew the identity of the callers. Only after the investigations, they realised the calls were from terrorists."
Pakistan-based handlers made these calls using the Voice Info Protocol (VoIP) service from the US company Call Phonex to ensure there are no problems communicating with terrorists on the day of the terror strikes.
