Overview

• Bengaluru Police arrested four individuals for illegal IPL ticket reselling ahead of the CSK vs RCB match at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
• The operation, launched after a tip-off, led to the seizure of 32 tickets, Rs 1 lakh in cash, and four mobile phones, valued at Rs 1.78 lakh in total.
• One suspect was initially caught with 12 tickets, and subsequent leads resulted in the arrest of three more individuals with 20 tickets near Miller’s Road.
• This action follows earlier police efforts in April targeting illegal betting and black-market ticket sales during Tata IPL 2025 matches.
• Investigators are now probing the broader network, including potential insider collusion within the Karnataka State Cricket Association.
