YSRCP MP Vijayasai Reddy's iPhone goes missing

AMARAVATI: A police complaint that YSRCP Rajya Sabha MP V Vijayasai Reddy had lost his personal smartphone has become the talking point among political circles in the two Telugu states. An Apple iPhone 12 Pro, belonging to the senior leader of the YS Jaganmohan Reddy party, went missing, according to the complaint lodged by his personal assistant Lokeswara Rao with the Tadepalli police.

The complaint was lodged on November 21, sending the state police into a tizzy. However, there is no clarity on the possible location where the MP's phone may have been misplaced or gone missing. Since the MP is known to criss-cross Andhra Pradesh and also frequently visit national capital New Delhi, it has reportedly become a challenge for the leader to hazard a guess on where it could have been lost.

It is also speculated that his phone might have been stolen during one of his recent public appearances. Interestingly, the news also evoked snide remarks from his political detractors who smelt rat in the episode.

On the other hand, it sparked fears of the expensive mobile gadget falling into the wrong hands as any sensitive information stored in it could be endangered.

A vast wealth of personal data and confidential information including call logs and iCloud storage, chats, voice messages, audio and video content can all be cracked by the hackers if they get hold of the device.
