Travis Scott’ concert faced major theft

Rapper and singer Travis Scott returned to India on Wednesday, November 19, for a thrilling performance at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Mumbai, as a part of his CIRCUS MAXIMUS World Tour, just one month after a powerful performance in New Delhi.

Thousands of fans attended the concert, but returned home with the missing personal items. Mumbai police have registered several cases and started an investigation after several attendees reported that their jewellery and cell phones had been stolen during the performance.

According to ANI, several groups of thieves allegedly blended in with the crowd and stole valuables valued at more than Rs 18 lakh while fans danced to the rapper's hits.

Twelve gold chains and twenty-four cell phones were reported stolen during the event, according to preliminary data. A number of upset fans hurried to the Tardeo police station after the performance to lodge complaints.

Police have filed a case against unknown individuals under Sections 303(2) and 304 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).  To find the offenders, CCTV footage from the concert entrance and surrounding areas is being analysed.

According to officials, efforts are being made to locate the thieves and retrieve the stolen goods.
