Two individuals from Mumbai, Sunny Bhola Yadav and Shyam Baranwal, were apprehended in connection with a series of mobile phone thefts at an Alan Walker concert held in Kochi. Authorities transported the suspects to Kochi and are set to present them in court today.

The police have successfully recovered three stolen mobile phones from the apprehended duo. Meanwhile, the investigation extends further as four other suspects remain elusive—two reportedly from Delhi and two from Mumbai—with their mobile phones turned off.

The Kerala police, collaborating with their counterparts in other states, have managed to retrieve 23 of the 39 phones reported stolen during the concert. The operation involved a special investigation team that has already detained four suspects in Delhi and Mumbai.
