Dhoni’s ‘missing’ phones recovered

New Delhi: Former Indian skipper M S Dhoni’s mobile phones, which allegedly went missing during the fire incident at a hotel here recently, have been found, police said today.

“It was an error of judgement on the part of the person who took the phones. He and a couple of other staff had entered the cricketer’s room to sanitise it. He took away the phones without knowing their ownership. When the police contacted him, he accepted and handed over the devices to us,” a senior police official said.

Dhoni had earlier filed a complaint alleging that his three mobile phones were stolen during the fire incident at Welcome Hotel in Dwarka on March 17.

In his complaint, the cricketer alleged that he had left his phones in the hotel room when he had gone for breakfast downstairs.

Later, when his staff went to pack his things, the mobile phones were missing from the room, the complaint said.

A case in this regard was registered at Dwarka south police station.
