Rangpur Metropolitan Police (RpMP) recovered 51 lost mobile phones and returned them to their rightful owners on Saturday.
Police Commissioner Md. Mahabubur Rashid handed over the recovered phones following proper procedures at a function held in the Police Commissioner's Conference Room.
Highlighting the importance of mobile security, Police Commissioner said a mobile phone is not merely a communication device, but a repository of personal and family data, photos, contacts, and valuable documents. Misuse of such data from lost phones can lead to fraud, social unrest, and defamation.
He said a special police team reviewed General Diaries (GDs) filed across various metropolitan police stations to trace and recover the 51 phones. Urging citizens to report any lost or stolen phones immediately, he requested everyone to file a GD at their nearest police station to assist police recovery efforts.
