Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The crime branch gave a special New Year gift by returning 326 lost mobile phones worth about Rs 1.20 crore to their owners on Saturday. The action was taken based on complaints received through the Citizen Cop Application.

DCP (crime) Rajesh Tripathi said that on the instruction of CP Santosh Kumar Singh, the crime branch cyber cell worked on pending complaints from the year 2025 and successfully traced the missing phones.

These mobiles were recovered not only from Indore but also from other districts of Madhya Pradesh and states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
