Kishan (@jan_jan_ki_baat) reported@WhatsApp you could review the circumstances surrounding this issue. I have always tried to comply with whats app terms of service and have not engaged in any activities that would violate your guidelines. Therefore, I suspect that ban might have been triggered inadvertently.
