"No OTP is needed to unlock the EVM. There is no mobile OTP needed to unlock the EVM as it is a non-programmable offence...It has advanced technical features and there is no communication device on the EVM...It is a technically full-proof system & EVM is a standalone system. It does not require any OTP."
