Authorities have tracked a Russian tourist's phone to Maharashtra after it was stolen onboard a train in Bihar, according to the Railway Ministry. The tourist, Nina Nikonorova, reported her phone stolen after being attacked on the Gaya-Kamakhya Express.

Subsequent police raids led to the arrest of Pintu Kumar and Sajan Kumar, from whom three phones were recovered, although Nikonorova's device remained missing. The duo's confession pointed to Sahil Paswan of Manpur as the main suspect.

Nikonorova, who returned to Russia, identified her phone's activation in Nagpur via a notification. This prompted further coordinated efforts by the Government Railway Police and Railway Protection Force to apprehend Paswan and retrieve the device.
