This seems to be the app: https://www.sancharsaathi.gov.in/

Looks like it's quire popular/established already, with over 10 million downloads. Basically a "portal" for basic digital safety/hygiene related services.

Quoting Perplexity regarding what facilities the app offers:

1. Chakshu: Report suspicious calls, SMS, or WhatsApp for scams like impersonation, fake investments, or KYC frauds.

2. Block Lost/Stolen Phones: Trace and block devices across all telecom networks using IMEI; track if reactivated.

3. Check Connections in Your Name: View and disconnect unauthorized numbers linked to your ID.

4. Verify Device Genuineness: Confirm if a phone (new or used) is authentic before purchase.
