Cops recover 609 lost mobile phones worth ₹1.52 crore

Gurugram: In a significant achievement, Gurugram Police have successfully recovered 609 lost mobile phones, valued at approximately Rs 1.52 crore, between January 1 and April 30.

The recovery was led by Cyber Cell teams across Gurugram East, West, South, and Manesar, under the guidance of Commissioner Vikas Kumar Arora, using the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) portal.

Deputy Commissioner of Police, Arpit Jain, highlighted the initiative’s importance, noting that smartphones are essential for daily life, storing vital documents,
