In Feburary this year, Noida-based mobile handset maker Ringing Bells launched India’s most affordable smartphone for under Rs 500. Priced at Rs 251, the launch was in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for ’empowering India to the last person, transforming India’s growth story’.
A couple of days later after its launch, the Freedom 251 official website crashed within hours of opening up for pre-orders, thus unable to register any bookings. Besides utter chaos at the company’s Noida-based head office, there were also reports of copyright infringements.

Despite this, Ringing Bells Pvt claimed to have received nearly five crore registrations in just two days of opening up for online pre-orders.
In March, Noida Police has registered a case of cheating against the owner of Ringing Bells following a complaint filed by BJP leader Kirit Somaiya. Somaiya, in his complaint, said it was not possible to manufacture a smartphone at Rs 251 and the owner of the company was fooling the people.
