So is the story in Kolkata. The police did not ask me how I lost my N72. They just noted my number and issued the paper which I needed to obtain my duplicate sim card. three cellphones have been stolen from my family members.
However, it is possible to recover a lost cellphone if the police wants it. At least in a recent incident a minister of the state government lost her cellphone in the train along with some other articles. It was recovered. Best regards, Amiyo.
