Unless you have contacts in Local service provider like Airtel,Vodafoe,Rel etc, Nobody will help. Also the probability of helping for phones<10k is very low. See if someone from your friends is working in these companes.Also It will be very useful if you know somebody from crime dept(Police). As far tracing the phone through IMEI no. It is as simple as searching a particular file in PC. Now a days EIR(Equipment Identity registers) are very fast and advance.
Thanx guys. I filed a complaint in Police Station on the day itself. But till now now information received. Unfortunately i dont have contacts in either police dept or network provider. So i've decided to block the phone using IMEI and buy new phone.
I've heard that we can block our lost phone using IMEI. Can anybody tell me the procedure to do this.

only 2 things require..
1st. Your mobile bill(to proof that it was actually yours) and the IMEI number which will be used by cell operators not by manufacturer's company to track down the cell(as SIM sends out the IMEI and IMSI number frequently to its operator).
2nd. A VERY strong approach or a IMANDAAR policewala which will take action towards this and inform the IMEI to all cell providers.
No matter how much costly your mobile was, it can be only tracked down if their is approach(not the law in this dabanng country
) behind it.
just my 2 cents

From my personal experience I don't think it's going to work out unless you know a policeman who is from the dept who handles these type of cases. Esp if your phone costs less than 10k it's virtually ruled out trying to track it. Even I lost my Nokia 5233 recently in Hyderabad as well. I even tried an online website which told will track but didn't.

Yup. Even though its possible to trace your cellphone the guys simply wont do anything apart from just registering an fir that too as a formality for you! Better make your way to cyber crime personnales, they might be able to help you coz ultimately local police hand over these technology cases to them. So why not directly go their rather than taking a long turn
Yup. They usually don't consider cases where objects they deem cheap have been lost. But then again, I've seen weirder stuff in India.
I'm from Bangalore. There HAS to be something of the kind. But with a lot of fueled by facebook fake sites coming up promising to track lost phones, haven't found out which is the site I am actually supposed to register and block out my IMEI.
anyways try to call helpline - http://cyberpolicebangalore.nic.in/Contact-us.html
