In an era where recovering a lost or stolen mobile phone is often considered a long shot, a police sub-inspector attached to the Anti-Terrorism Cell (ATC) of Dahisar police station has set an extraordinary benchmark by tracing and returning more than 3500 missing and stolen mobile phones to their rightful owners over the course of his career.

PSI Sham Ranshevare has turned mobile phone recovery into a mission. So meticulous is his approach that he has created his own comprehensive Excel-based tracking system for every missing or stolen phone reported at the police station. After complaints are registered on the government's Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) portal, Ranshevare personally monitors each case and follows up relentlessly.
