Lost mobile phone
this is a issue plaguing police all over india
problem has become herculean & if cost of all mobile phones being stolen will be calculated it will dwarf other regular theft cases ocuring in a city
another problem is it has become entirely a baby of police with no cooperation of telecom companies
further people dont buy insurance even for costly mobiles
INDORE: If you lose your mobile phone in Indore, don't expect to find it any time soon as an overloaded cyber cell has stopped taking any complaints related to loss of cell phones for the past one month.
No wonder, citizens are facing a harrowing time as they have nowhere to go to report loss or theft of their expensive phones.
City-based senior oncologist Dr S S Nayyar, who recently lost his Rs 52,000 Sony phone, claimed that cops themselves were confused on where to register a complaint in such a scenario.
"They were first not able to decide on the jurisdiction. When they figured that out, they were not able to decide whether the case will be transferred to the cyber cell or the crime branch. I went to the cyber cell with my complaint but I was told that they are not taking any complaint related to mobile theft," he said.
In a similar incident, CA student Arushi Vohra had to undertake a complex route to get her case registered after a man snatched her mobile phone worth Rs 15,000 from her hand when she was on her hostel campus.
"I had to put up a complaint on the CM helpline to get myself heard," said Vohra.
When asked about why complaints are not being registered at the cyber cell, cops claimed that pile-up of cases related to mobile theft were hampering their work on cyber crimes.
"In a recent meeting of top officials, it was decided that the cyber cell will no longer be given cases related to mobile thefts. This was done because for past many months, we have been flooded with over 3,700 such complaints. Most of our time goes in solving the cases and locating the phones. This leaves us with barely any time to attend to important cyber crimes," cyber cell police station in-charge Ravikant Deria said.
"So, we stopped taking mobile theft complaints one month back following an order from top officials," he added
