For those who already lost their mobile:

There is a standard procedure that you can do if you have already lost your mobile. You can  register an FIR (First Information Report) at the nearest police station (nearest to where you lost it/it was stolen).

Read the FIR while it is being filled out by the police, sign it and remember to take a copy of it for later use.

The next step, or probably the first that many could do, is to call your cellular operator's service centre, and inform them to deactivate your number.

There is a nice article on The Hindu  for this.
