Unexpected mobile phone explosions or 'Bombile' are great matter of concern to all mobile users in Assam. It creates panic among the people in Assam, which causes the user unconscious. Nearly thirty cases of mobile phone explosion have been uncovered till now and twenty people have been admitted in hospital, in the last one week . Most of the victims grumbled of nausea and a splitting headache, and some of them had to be literally wheeled into the hospital unconscious after the mobile handsets exploded soon after receiving a call. These numbers appear in red and the moment the unfortunate victim answers the call, their phones explode. There have been multiple reports of people whose phones explode after receiving calls from some strange numbers.

"The interesting thing is that some of the handsets that have burst are from genuine brands like Nokia, Samsung and Motorola. Initially, it was presumed the cases were witnessed in cheap Chinese make handsets, but now even that theory was proved wrong," a police official said.
"We have got numerous queries from users asking us to explain the reason, but we are not sure. We have asked for expert help from our head office to have an internal probe into the matter," said an official of Reliance Telecom.
Mobile service providers have no scientific explanation and totally confused to these bizarre cases. These deadly  incidents are triggering panic among mobile users in Assam with 'bombile' being the word that is in vogue now.
