Gandhidham/UNI: A fisherman has found a banned satellite phone of In-mar brand from an island close to Kandla port in Kutch district of Gujarat, police said here on Tuesday.

SP East-Kutch Parikshita Rathod told UNI that the fisherman, who had gone to the island close to under-construction Navlakhi channel for fishing, had found the phone packed inside a thermocol packing a few days back.

He took it as a normal phone, but when he went to a mobile shop for putting a Sim card inside it, he came to know that it was a banned phone.

According to Ms Rathod, the fisherman handed it over to the police and the whole matter was under investigation.

The IMEI number of the phone would be obtained to find how and by whom it was used.

Various investigation agencies, including the Central IB, the state IB and the SOG of local crime branch, have been involved in the probe, she added.
