A cricket fan claimed his valuables were stolen after police outside Ahmedabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium denied him entry for carrying a pen and coin collection. He alleged officers told him to hide items under a tree instead of using lockers. On return, the belongings were missing, sparking debate over security lapses and VIP privilege.

A local sports fan is sounding the alarm on social media after a bizarre security encounter outside the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Ahmedabad. The fan claimed he was stripped of a precious coin collection and several high-value personal items.

The attendee, who posted the ordeal to X (formerly Twitter), alleges that stadium security and police on-site refused him entry due to his possession of a pen and a wallet containing a coin collection. Instead of directing him to an official locker or storage facility, the fan claims an officer pointed him toward a "secret" spot under a nearby tree.

'He did not give a shit'

Following the officer's suggestion, the fan hid his wallet, a valuable pen, and his earbuds under stones and leaves in a secluded corner, believing the spot to be safe. Upon returning after the match, the fan discovered the items had been discovered and stolen.
