Ranipet police have returned 50 mobile phones, collectively valued at ₹6 lakh, to their respective owners.

The police did not provide details of how the 50 phones were lost, how they were traced or whether arrests were made in connection with any thefts.
The source material also did not identify the owners or describe the handover event beyond stating that the devices were returned to them.

The use of the cell tracker application enabled the unit to locate the devices, though police did not explain the application’s operating process or the evidence required from claimants.

Police gave no indication of the number of pending complaints or whether similar handovers were planned.
