A conflicting verdict in a two-decade legal battle between India's mobile operators and the Indian government has led one of India's oldest telecom operators into trouble. Yes, we are talking about a merged company: Vodafone Idea Limited and Vodafone Idea Shutdown, and AGR Dues.

In this post, we find out what led to all this and what awaits the telecom operator.
