Letter to Police to Lodge FIR for Lost or Stolen Mobile & SIM

If you have lost your mobile phone for any reason viz. misplaced it or it was stolen, then you should make an application to the local police station to register an FIR. This will be helpful not only to block the SIM in the mobile but also to recover it.

The FIR copy will be very useful in case someone misuses your mobile and phone number for any wrongful purposes. As the mobile is registered in your name, you might be blamed for this.

In order to avoid this unpleasant situation, you can produce a copy of the FIR as evidence that the mobile was lost earlier and not in your possession anymore.

Here are samples of applications to the police station for your reference.
