“The government has constituted an inter-ministerial committee to investigate the matter,” the minister said on Wednesday, without giving details.
A senior government official said the decision to investigate came after a media report said Huawei had hacked a BSNL mobile base station controller. The official declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the issue.
BSNL declined to comment beyond the minister’s statement. A spokesman for the communications and information technology ministry said he did not have details of the allegation.
A spokesman for Huawei India denied any hacking.
