Rangpur:Rangpur Metropolitan Police (RpMP) successfully recovered 51 lost mobile phones and returned them to their rightful owners on Saturday. The recovery and return were conducted under the guidance of Police Commissioner Md. Mahabubur Rashid.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the recovered phones were handed over following proper procedures at a function held in the Police Commissioner's Conference Room. During the event, Police Commissioner Rashid emphasized the importance of mobile security, highlighting that mobile phones serve not only as communication devices but also as repositories of personal and family data, including photos, contacts, and valuable documents.
The Commissioner noted that the misuse of data from lost phones could lead to fraud, social unrest, and defamation. To address this, a special police team reviewed General Diaries (GDs) filed across various metropolitan police stations, which aided in tracing and recovering the 51 mobile phones.
He also urged citizens to promptly report any lost or stolen phones and file a GD at their nearest police station to assist in the recovery efforts conducted by the police.
