Ok, first check your hosts file and see if any entry is there for the site you want to access.

Can you ping the site successfully??

But still, as we don't know which site you want to access, can't say anything. As you stated that using the same data card can't open the site in other PC's too, it may be blocked from BSNL's side.

Yeah it may be a problem with the service provider ......
