SPB's passport, other articles stolen in US

 Legendary playback singer S P Balasubrahmanyam has said his passport and other articles were ‘stolen’ in the US, but officials of the Indian Consulate were quick to provide him with a duplicate travel document.

“My bag with passports, credit cards, cash, my pads with all my song scripts were stolen,” the award-winning singer said in a Facebook post.

SPB, as the multi-lingual singer is fondly addressed, is currently touring the US as part of his ‘SPB50’ series where he has enthralled music lovers in cities, including Seattle, Los Angeles and Atlanta. Balasubrahmanyam thanked the Indian Consulate in Houston for coming to his aid. “Thanks to Consul General, Houston, I got my duplicate passport in 24 hours,” he said.
