Overview
- Anand Verma, a director of the Delhi and District Cricket Association, filed a complaint with Delhi Police alleging his hospitality passes were duplicated for the April 4 Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians match at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
- Verma said security stopped him and his guests at the gate because the barcodes on his complimentary tickets had already been used by unknown people.
- He alleged an organised racket that involved some DDCA employees and on-ground security personnel.
- DDCA secretary Ashok Sharma denied any fraud and said scanners failed to read barcodes, adding that Delhi Capitals conveyed it was a technical issue.
- Local reports say director Navdeep Malhotra lodged a similar complaint, with premium hospitality passes worth about INR 1 lakh drawing loss claims as police review the case and more IPL games come to Delhi.
