Mumbai Police have registered a case against a security manager for allegedly stealing 261 IPL team jerseys worth Rs 6.52 lakh from the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) official merchandise store at Wankhede Stadium.

The accused, Farooq Aslam Khan (46), a resident of Mira Road East, reportedly entered the store without authorisation on June 13.

The theft came to light during a recent audit revealing missing stock, after which BCCI officials reviewed CCTV footage and spotted the security guard carrying a cardboard box, according to reports.

Subsequently, the complaint was filed on July 17 by Hemang Bharat Kumar Amin (44), a BCCI employee based in Mahim.

Amin, who works at the BCCI office located within the stadium premises, alleged that Khan took jerseys belonging to multiple IPL franchises, including Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and others.

Marine Drive Police have filed an FIR under Section 306 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and launched an investigation.

Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage and other material to trace the stolen items and determine the sequence of events, said officials.
