Sim Lost - blocking not possible

I lost my airtel sim card. i called up the customer care to block my number to avert any possibility of misuse or abuse of my number. they tell me that i first need to lodge an FIR and then take the FIR to an airtel service centre to get the number blocked.

Though I can get the FIR at any time. (It is 11 pm right now). On asking them about availability of an airtel service centre to get the number blocked, they reply in the negative.

This means i'll have to wait till the morning to complete the full procedure of simply blocking the number to remove chances of abuse.

Now, if i wait till the morning, and in the mean time my sim card is used by some crook for criminal or terrorist purposes, and in any investigation my lost number is traced, will i be held responsible or indicted in any manner?

How am i suppose to prevent this from happening? it is very strange and unjustified that to simply block a number, i have to wait for hours and they give give me no solution to safeguard my interests..

What am i supposed to do?
