On 4 August, Aminul Islam found a mobile phone (iPhone 13 Pro Max) switched off in his rickshaw. He tried to buy a charger to activate the phone so that he can contact with the owner. But he could not buy a charger due to high cost.
Later he removed the SIM and activated it on his phone. After activating the SIM, he received a call from a woman who claimed to be the owner of the phone. Aminul Islam returned the mobile phone to the owner through the police on 9 August.
