Complaint Details
Upon successfully recharging your data balance, airtel will automatically redirect users browsing the web to their website and show data balance and advertise their other offers. This is a direct violation of net neutrality. I solved the problem because I was fortunate enough to have VPN. Check this link for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ihohgWGoTM . Please take some action. No telecom company should be allowed to abuse their power by forcefully redirecting users in the midst of their browsing to their website.
