Talking to PTI, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order), Alok Kumar said: "The prime minister was under the protection of the SPG. The lady [to whom the phone belonged] was a BJP worker. The SPG people returned it to her later."
"In the excitement, it (the phone) was thrown and she had no (ill) intention, but we are trying to trace the lady because the phone was handed over to her by the SPG sleuths."
The prime minister later tweeted about the rally, thanking the people of Mysore for their warm welcome.
