A laptop, 14 mobile phones and four tablet PCs were also seized. Rafique reportedly told the police that they can change IMEI numbers of mobile devices of many brands like iPhone, Nokia and HTC. Liton said they used ‘special’ SIM cards and a ‘special device called Dangal’ to change the IMEI numbers. Police officials said many stolen expensive devices are brought to Chittagong, even from Dhaka, to change IMEI numbers. “We are concerned that militants can also use mobile phones with changed IMEI numbers,” he said.
