Mumbai Police arrested five members of a well-dressed inter-state gang allegedly involved in mobile phone snatching at the Sunburn Festival 2025 in Sewri. The accused, residents of Delhi and Karnataka, reportedly targeted crowded events, blending in as festival-goers and using hired vehicles to avoid suspicion.

The festival, organised by Spacebound Web Lab Pvt Ltd, ran from December 19 to 21 at Sewri Timber Pond near Atal Setu. Anticipating thefts, Mumbai Police had deployed special teams for crowd monitoring and women’s safety.
