New Delhi, Jul 21 (PTI) Two men have been arrested for allegedly stealing mobile phones during a high-footfall concert of Himesh Reshammiya at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, an official said on Monday.
Wasim (36) and Mohammad Tayyab (33) were nabbed by police personnel in plain clothes, who were discreetly deployed at the venue to monitor suspicious movements and ensure public safety, he said.
