Ahmedabad’s Sarkhej police have received applications from more than 22 mobile owners reporting phone thefts during the Honey Singh’s ‘Millionaire Tour’ concert, which took place on Saturday at the Savanna Party Plot in Shela.
According to reports, a Sarkhej police officer stated that this is the first time such a large number of phones have been reported stolen at a concert in the city. The officer blamed the lack of proper event management and security arrangements, emphasising that stricter measures should have been in place to prevent such incidents.
While some reports suggested that only high-end smartphones were targeted, the officer denied this claim, stating that both premium and budget-range phones were stolen.
Authorities suspect that an organised gang may have infiltrated the concert venue to carry out the thefts.
Investigations are underway, and police are reviewing CCTV footage and coordinating with event organisers to track down the culprits.
