Superintendent of Police (North) Vijay Singh told reporters here that a delegate from Kerala M.K. Venu had stolen the laptop from Menon's cabin where there was no one around Friday.
"We have recovered the laptop from Venu's hotel room in Panaji," Singh said.
Mohan had filed a police complaint last week after he discovered that his laptop was stolen from his cabin located in the well-guarded IFFI campus.
