Consult a lawyer and then Send a legal notice to the insurance company and if the company still denies to pay the said money, you can move to a consumer court and initiate proceedings against the company. However, I will advise you to go through the clauses and terms & conditions of your insurance policy.

Sir first of all please see if the policy of the phone taken by you entailed that the insurance taken by you covered the loss die to theft. If the policy covers theft and loss of phone then the same ought not to be repudiated on depositing of the required documents and completing the formalities. The grounds for repudiation have to be considered and if the same are arbitrary then a complaint under the consumer protection act can be filed against the insurance company which can help you get relief in a speedy manner
