The burglary of a smart phone worth Rs 53,000 from just outside an examination hall has sent students and faculty at a top city in to a tizzy.

The iPhone, belonging to a 20-year-old BMS student, was stolen even as she gave her exams. CCTV footage later showed a classmate of the student rushing in and out of the college washroom — incidentally where the victim’s bag, minus her cell phone, was finally located.
