Ambassador of Ukraine Igor Polikha's mobile phone was allegedly snatched near Red Fort on Wednesday morning. The police have begun a probe into the matter.
Around 9:15am, Mr. Polikha was clicking photographs using his mobile phone when an unidentified man appeared, snatched his phone and fled the spot, the police said on Friday.
The Ambassador was alone at the time of the incident, with his driver waiting for him a kilometre away.
Mr. Polikha immediately approached the police after which the case was registered and teams were formed to nab the alleged snatcher.
"We have some clues and several teams have been formed. We'll solve the case soon," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Jatin Narwal.
