The BlackBerry has provided with a technological facility of intercepting its Messenger service between two handsets after providing the Personal Index Number (PIN), official sources said.
The security agencies were ascertaining the intercepting provisions provided by the Candian smart phone manufacturer for intercepting BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) for which a detailed report would be submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs later.
