Delhi Police has booked a man for stealing three mobile phones of former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni from a hotel here, a senior officer said on Sunday.

A complaint was filed by Dhoni on Saturday after his mobiles, including an iPhone, went missing during a fire at the WelcomHotel on Friday in Dwarka, Deputy Commissioner of Police Surender Kumar told IANS.

The complaint stated that he lost the devices during the evacuation process.
