Based on the facts disclosed, stringent legal action can be initiated against the accused by filing an application before the Investigating Officer to convert the earlier “lost report” into a regular FIR and invoke Section 303 BNS (Theft) for the unlawful taking of your mobile phone, Section 324 BNS (Mischief) for the deliberate destruction of your stored data, along with Section 43 IT Act, 2000 (unauthorized deletion/alteration of data) read with Section 66 IT Act, 2000 (criminal liability for such acts done dishonestly or fraudulently), thereby ensuring that the accused is held accountable for both the theft of your device and the intentional erasure of your valuable digital records.
