Singer Enrique Iglesias returned to India after a decade and enthralled audiences in Mumbai with two back-to-back concerts this week. However, amid the excitement, multiple FIRs for phone theft were filed by the city police, as reported by concertgoers. At least 73 mobile phones, collectively worth Rs 23.85 lakh, were stolen during the pop singer’s jam-packed concerts on Wednesday and Thursday.
73 phones stolen at Enrique concert
Police registered seven First Information Reports (FIRs) about the thefts, which took place at the MMRDA Grounds in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) on Wednesday evening. The minimum ticket price for the concert was Rs 7,000.
The complainants in the theft cases included a makeup artist, hotelier, students, a journalist, and businessmen.
Fan throws phone at Enrique during performance
Even as phone thefts were reported, one enthusiastic fan voluntarily threw their phone at the artist during his performance. While Enrique was running across the stage, singing and dancing, a phone came flying toward him. Luckily, it didn’t hit him — and being a good sport, the Spanish singer-songwriter picked up the phone and took a selfie with it.
It will definitely be a selfie the fan cherishes for life. However, such acts can be dangerous and may injure performers. Fans must remain mindful and respect artists on stage to avoid accidents.
