Recovery Enabled Through CEIR Portal and Dedicated Police Teams
The recovery effort was spearheaded by the CCS, IT Cell, and Social Media teams, who used the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) portal to trace lost and stolen devices. The CEIR portal allows people from any state or union territory to report their missing phones.
DCP L.C. Naik stressed the importance of reporting stolen phones promptly, saying, “Mobile phones carry not only personal information but also precious memories. Their safe return is a matter of public trust and safety.”
Public Urged to Stay Vigilant Against Cyber Threats
The DCP advised the public to remain alert against cyber frauds and avoid clicking on suspicious links. He noted that although awareness is growing, many still don’t know how to secure mobile data after a theft. He also recommended installing CCTV cameras in residential and community areas to deter crime.

- CCS Madhapur – 80 phones recovered
