Bengaluru, Mar 30 (PTI) Police on Monday launched a probe after receiving 25 complaints about mobile phones going missing during an IPL match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here, officials said.

The incident occurred on March 28 during the opening match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad, they said.

The matter came to light after a netizen flagged the issue in a video shared on social media, police added.

“We have received complaints from 25 people so far regarding phones lost during the match. There is a possibility that the phones were either stolen or misplaced outside the stadium, with victims realising it only after entering the premises,” a senior police officer said.

Further investigation is underway, he added. PTI AMP SSK
