The cyber team of the 9th Armed Police Battalion (APBn) in Chattogram has recovered 51 lost mobile phones through technology-based investigations and special operations. The recovered phones were subsequently handed over to their rightful owners at an official ceremony.

According to sources, people who lost their mobile phones at different times filed general diaries (GDs) with the relevant police stations. Based on these reports, the cyber team of 9 APBn launched investigations with the assistance of technology. By using information technology and analysing phone numbers and other technical data, the team gradually traced 51 lost mobile phones. The phones were subsequently recovered and arrangements were made to return them to their rightful owners.

Photographs show officers of 9 APBn arranging the recovered mobile phones before formally handing them over to their owners. Senior battalion officials and members of the cyber team concerned were present at the event.

The affected individuals expressed relief after recovering their lost mobile phones, some of which had been missing for a long time. For many of them, the phones were essential for personal communication, storing important information and photographs, and carrying out everyday activities. They expressed gratitude to the cyber team of 9 APBn for recovering their lost property.

Those concerned believe that such technology-driven initiatives to recover lost mobile phones can play an important role in strengthening public confidence in law enforcement agencies. The operation has also set a positive example of the effective use of modern technology in crime prevention.

Through this initiative by the cyber team of the 9th Armed Police Battalion in Chattogram, 51 rightful owners have recovered their lost mobile phones. Victims and concerned members of the public expressed hope that law enforcement agencies would continue such efforts to protect people's lives and property and prevent crime through the use of technology.
