Legal consequences of buying a stolen phone unknowingly
07-Jan-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
I bought a Samsung note 4 last year and I did not know it was stolen until I got a call from crime branch haryana regarding this. The person from which I bought the phone gave me a bill also. It was a second hand phone. The day I got to know it is a stolen phone I sent back the phone to the police officer which called me on his address which he asked me to do. I also got to know whose phone it is and that person contacted me as well. I showed them the bill as I was not aware that i is a stolen phone. What should I do now. The phone has been taken by police. FIR under section 380 stands registered against unknown person. What should be my next step.
Need to review receipt and the details fo the phone. The Case for recovery of your funds would be registered against the vendor. If It is not possible to find a person who stole the phone. You need to take your case to an advocate for futher proceedings.

You need not worry since FIR is not registered against you. If the police officers try to harrass you or register fir against you at later stage. Than you can approach high court for quashing of fir and senior of that police officer in case of harrassment. You can never be imprisoned as you are bonafide purchaser
