The Haryana police on Tuesday recovered the stolen bag of Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh which was taken away from his SUV outside a cafe here last evening.

The off-spinner`s bag, which contained his passport, ten ATM and credit cards and a laptop, was recovered from the same vicinity. Some unidentified thieves broke into Harbhajan`s Ford Endeavour (SUV) by smashing the window-pane of the rear door on the busy National Highway No.1 (NH-1) near Karnal town in Haryana, police said.

The break-in took place around 6 p.m. outside Cafe Coffee Day outlet at Madhuban near Karnal. Sources said the cricketer immediately called the police for help.

Incidentally, Harbhajan is himself employed as a DSP with Punjab Police. He was driving to New Delhi from Chandigarh with his friend when the incident took place.

Earlier, Harbhajan had appealed that his passport and other documents were of no use to anyone and they should be returned. He had already frozen about 10 credit and ATM cards that were stolen with the bag.
