Indian wireless carrier will harrass your friends if you're a deadbeat

So a cellphone carrier in India decided they had found a new to try and collect on an overdue bill: start harrassing the person's friends and associates. Manish Jethani discovered that Hutch had been calling up the numbers of people he had recently contacted, asking for information about where he was and requesting that he pay his bill. Besides being sleazy, it also potentially cost him a lot of business since one of the people they called was a prospective business client. Apparently this sort of thing isn't even illegal there.
