A 17-year-old Std X student is losing out on precious study time, as he has been running from pillar to post to get his stolen mobile phone back. The lackadaisical attitude and arrogance of the police are to blame, as the Bandra and Valsad (Gujarat) GRP have been sending the boy back and forth between them.

Gulfam Ansari, a resident of 90 Feet Road in Dharavi, was on his way back home from his native place in Patna on the Humsafar Express on October 10 when his phone, which he had plugged in to charge inside the coach, was stolen. The minor realised his phone was gone only after the train reached Bandra Terminus in the wee hours of October 11.
