Mumbai techie tracks stolen phone in Varanasi, cop suspended

A Mumbai techie, Ankita Gupta, tracked her stolen phone from Varanasi's Assi Ghat with friends' help after police inaction. Her efforts led to the recovery of her handset along with 12 other stolen mobiles. One cop has been suspended in response.

Ankita Gupta, a tech professional from Mumbai, had her phone stolen while visiting Assi Ghat in Varanasi. Facing inaction from the police, she enlisted friends' help to track the device, locating it at a house in the city.

Gupta promptly informed Varanasi police, who raided the premises and recovered not only her handset but also 12 other stolen mobile phones. The incident has raised questions about Uttar Pradesh police responsiveness.

According to reports, the cop's inaction forced Gupta to take matters into her own hands. As a result, the officer has been suspended. This case highlights rising mobile thefts and the role of police in such matters.
