Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd on Monday threatened to take legal action against the telecom lobby group Cellular Operators’ Association of India, or COAI, accusing it of maligning and damaging its interests. In a letter addressed to Rajan S. Mathews, director general at COAI, Reliance Jio accused the telecom lobby of breach of trust, fraudulent conduct, and gross misrepresentation of facts with wilful and deliberate intent to malign and damage the interests of Reliance Jio. “Reliance Jio reserves all its rights to take any or all available legal recourse against COAI, including anyone who were par-ties to such acts, in their individual or other capacities,” Reliance Jio said. “It is expected that clarity on Reliance Jio launching services shall be available in a week,” he said. Reliance Jio called the COAI allegations “malicious and ill informed” in a response to the Department of Telecommunication.
