If you're quite sure that you haven't done the transfers (whether intentionally or unintentionally), you could also ask MTNL to produce caller ID records of all the connections to your account in the past month. For obvious reasons, all the connections must have been from your phone. If any aren't, you can always register an FIR, take things to court and spend a year or two in a tripartite fight (you, MTNL and the supposed ``hacker'') recovering your money :) Seriously, though, MTNL should be able to provide you with CID records for your account on demand in case of a dispute anyway. If they don't that /is/ something worth fighting for IMO. Try a formal notice to the Commercial Officer on paper through snail mail.
