A few days back I had told you about how a mob tried to break my mobile into pieces. But despite smashing it on to a stone wall multiple times, with full force; they couldn't break the device into pieces.
Today, the city police got the possession of that mobile device and handed it back to me.
At the first sight, the police inspector was very optimistic and told me that the mobile is fine. According to him, it was only the screen guard that was damaged. I said, it's not possible. The way those people were smashing the mobile against the stone, there was no chance of the screen being intact. To verify, he immediately took off the screen guard telling me that because of it, the device has been saved.
But as soon as he uncovered the screen guard, truth was revealed:
Here are a few more photographs of my mobile:
Visibly, it looked like the device is dead now. But my friend immediately dialled my mobile no. and this device started ringing. Amazing! It's been 5 days since this incident but its battery was strong enough to still receive a call. However there was no way to receive the call as screen wasn't working anymore. But I found that I can still access my whatsapp messages over web through this device. Hopefully, there isn't much damage to the device.
So it looks like people don't know how to destroy a device. This device has certain proofs to implicate the people involved in the mob attack. But we have decided to not to pursue any criminal suit against anyone involved and condoned all the parties involved in it. This too, on verbal apologies which were obviously hollow and empty as they were not prepared to repair the damaged property and install our hoardings back in place.
But that is understandable. I don't believe in asking for compensation or restoration of the damage. Anger can result in anything and most losses in our lives are of irreparable nature. That's how life is and we should accept it. If they don't want to do whatever little they could on their own, we won't like to compel them for the same too. Life will keep flowing with time irrespective of what they do or not do. Time never stops and waits for none.
- Yet, I'm curious to know the best way to break a mobile device into pieces. How would you do it?
