How
did I lodge complaint after losing Mobile phone?
While
my daughter lost her mobile at Bangalore a fortnight ago, the WhatsApp post
that gives details of easy way of lodging the complaint, made me try
undertaking the process. The post suggests that you
can find your lost mobile phone if you send mail along with some details to cop@vsnl.net.
Whereas
my IMEI Number was of 17 digits, the post writes to note the 15 digit IMEI Number.
This discrepancy made me doubt the veracity of the post. This is what happened,
thereafter:
Confirmed
that IMEI number can have 15 or 17 digits.
cop@vsnl.net was an id of Chennai police which ceases to exist. I checked the
existence of this email id at email verifying websites. The result was – this
email id doesn’t exist now.
Faintly, I recapitulated reading the
provision of lodging e-complaint with Bangalore Police. Searched to reach
Bangalore Police <http://www.bcp.gov.in/home.aspx
> Quick Links > Lost Report > Directs you to < http://lostclikfound.com
> A Public – Private Engagement > < http://bcp.gov.in/report_lost_item.aspx
> filled details of the lost mobile > immediate e-acknowledgement can be
downloaded.
Though the complaint page has grievances that can be
lodged for lost items anywhere in Karnataka, the acknowledgement has disclaimer
which states that, ‘This application is for lodging report of articles lost in
Bangalore Only’
Since the said post evoked curiosity and debate in
most groups, I thought of sharing my practical experience here.
