In a significant success for the district’s Cyber Cell, the Yamunanagar Police recovered 78 lost mobile phones worth approximately ₹17.38 lakh and returned them to their rightful owners during a programme held at the office of Superintendent of Police Kamaldeep Goyal.

Addressing the gathering, SP Kamaldeep Goyal said the Cyber Cell has been playing a crucial role not only in tackling cybercrime but also in tracing lost mobile phones using technical investigation and digital tracking methods. He appreciated the team’s dedicated efforts in recovering the devices and reuniting them with their owners.

The recovered mobile phones were handed over to their respective owners, who expressed their gratitude to the district police and praised the Cyber Cell for its prompt and efficient work. The operation was carried out under the supervision of Cyber Cell In-charge Sub-Inspector Shubham, along with Constables Manish, Sachin, Naveen and Shiv.

The SP said recovering lost phones is important not only because of their monetary value but also because they often contain sensitive personal information, banking details and official documents. He warned that stolen or misplaced mobile phones can fall into the hands of criminals and be misused for illegal activities if they are not reported immediately.

Kamaldeep Goyal urged citizens to remain vigilant and keep their mobile phones secure at all times. He advised people not to hand over their phones to unknown persons and to immediately report any loss or theft to the police so that technical teams can begin tracing the device without delay.

He also appealed to the public that if anyone finds a lost mobile phone, it should be deposited at the nearest police station or police outpost instead of being kept for personal use. Using the phone’s IMEI number and other technical details, the police can identify the rightful owner and return the device. He added that citizens who honestly deposit found mobile phones help strengthen public trust and contribute to a safer society.

The district police reiterated its commitment to using technology to protect citizens’ property and curb the misuse of stolen or lost mobile devices.
