Jalgaon Police's Operation Sajag Exposes Mini-Mobile Racket Near Schools
Police officers dressed up like students to catch people selling secret tiny phones near schools.
These phones were so small that parents and teachers could not see them.
They were being sold at roadside stalls for about 900 to 1,000 rupees.
The police worried students could use these phones secretly.
Some sellers even let girls talk to boys without their parents knowing.
Officers took the phones away from the students.
They called the schools and the parents to talk about what happened.
After the talk, the phones were given back to the parents.
The police are asking everyone to tell them if they see these tiny phones being sold.
They want to keep students safe.
Jalgaon Police's Damini Squad carried out an undercover drive, 'Operation Sajag', with female officers posing as college students.
The operation exposed temporary roadside stalls illegally selling miniature mobile phones near schools and colleges.
The tiny phones, priced between ₹900 and ₹1,000, were marketed to school and college girls.
Some vendors allegedly allowed girls to use the devices to contact boyfriends, raising student safety concerns.
Confiscated phones were returned to parents after counselling, and police urged citizens to report such sellers.
