This isn't the first time a person discovered their phone using their tracking location. Earlier, a resident of Tamil Nadu lost his bag containing his phone while travelling on the Nagercoil-Kacheguda Express. After realising his belongings were missing, his techie son- Raj Bhagat-came forward to help him.

Bhagat used his family's shared location on Google Maps to track the thief. Once he got hold of him near Melapalayam in Tirunelveli, he was taken into custody. Later, at the police station, the thief's identity was verified, and the police also informed that he was a repeat offender. The officers also discovered other things he had taken that day, including a rail chain, a mobile phone charger, Bluetooth headphones, a lock and key, and ₹1,000 in cash.
