how can family members get back mobile phone of a person who has committed suicide from police

My brother committed sucide on 03-08–2020. Police have taken away his mobile phone filing UDR. He has written a death note stating that he is responsible for his death. Now his loans needs to be cleared so his mobile phone is required to receive OTP and have can I take his death certificate since his body was post mortemed.

His legal heirs must immediately issue a notice for returning the mobile if the case is closed. Contact a local advocate as he may be having such influence in getting back such mobile without any difficulty and legally.

File RTI Application to Station House officer,.....................Police station and seek a certified copy of post mortem report, FIR, and closure report. stating the specific purpose.

Please remember that operation of any bank account the bank should be informed of the death, and operations in such account amount to a crime.

The alleged suicide note itself need be conclusive while investigating an unnatural death. Moreover, the urgency cited in getting back the mobile is less than convincing.
