Off topic - This support executives are built different.
I live in tier 1 city.
My sim was originally taken in my cousin name few years back he moved to Europe. My phone got stolen and I tried to get sim the executive were like he has to be physically present, some were ok with vkyc but after talking to manager, same reply no we can't issue sim unless he is physically present. Same was case with 4 different customer care offices ( in same city different locations)
Went to tier 3 City to visit a relative and told about my experience he was like challo, reissued without any vkyc lol had to shed out 2k. Totally worth it 
Tier 3 cities/villages have targets to complete so they activate bulk sim or look for similar buyers (& it can all be done at small cost without any kyc )

you're right about 2 or 3 tier city but I think Delhi, Mumbai like city has same condition, just you need to know the right person or right place to get it.

This recently happened with one of my relative.. His airtel sim was not working for 4 hours.. and later found 21 lakhs was stolen from their business account..
Airtel said that they got a call to block this number.
They lodged a case on Airtel and the bank... But not sure how to prevent this

Either your relative is lying(too embarrassed to admit own mistake) or this happened before Nov 2022 when the new rule of no sms service for 24 hours on any new/replaced sim & mandatory ivr confirmation call on original sim for replaced/duplicate sim came into effect. Also, ask your relative to apply for corporate internet banking with at least 2 users & use 2 users authentication for all txns.

Now no new/replaced sim can send or receive sms for first 24 hours of activation & unless consent is given on IVR call(by pressing a number) to original sim. This makes any banking fraud based on sim swap impossible unless the victim has almost zero common sense or victim is too old to even check their mobile once in 24 hours.
