Mumbai, 22 November (Daily Kiran). Multiple thefts reported during American rapper Travis Scott’s high-profile concert at Mahalaxmi Racecourse on 19 November have led to a police investigation. Mumbai Police have registered a case against unknown accused and are analysing CCTV footage from the venue.
Several attendees reached the police station after losing valuable belongings. So far, 24 high-end smartphones and 12 gold chains worth nearly ₹18 lakh have been reported stolen at Tardeo Police Station.
According to police, most of the stolen devices are iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 series models, valued between ₹1 lakh and ₹1.5 lakh each. The gold chains are estimated to be worth between ₹50,000 and ₹2 lakh.
Police have filed an FIR under Sections 303(2) (theft) and 304 (group crime) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Officers suspect the involvement of a professional gang that targets large concerts, music festivals and major sports events.
Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage from all entry and exit points and have sought detailed information from organisers regarding lighting, security arrangements and audience entry logs. Police expect that some suspects may be identified within the next 48–72 hours.
Meanwhile, several users have taken to social media to share their experiences, with some posting IMEI numbers of stolen phones.
Police have urged all victims to register complaints at Tardeo Police Station and advised people to avoid carrying expensive items to such large-scale events in the future.
This concert marked Travis Scott’s first performance in Mumbai, with ticket prices ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹50,000. The incident has raised serious concerns over security arrangements, and police say arrests are expected soon as the probe continues.
