The conversation between him and the emergency service staff was recorded on the youth’s phone. Confirming the authenticity of the recording, Selva Kumar told Express that he agreed the staff was in the wrong. But a large number of calls are prank calls and it has become a big headache for us. Today, a life would have been saved if prank calls were not made to emergency services,” he added..
