Click to play videoMohali: The cyber crime branch of the Chandigarh police on Monday, arrested a software engineer who was trying to sell Mohali match tickets online.
He was trying to sell five tickets of Rs 250 each for Rs 1,20,000 each online.
The software engineer has been taken into custody and has been sent to 14-days judicial remand.
The tickets of the India-Pakistan semi-final are sold out in Chandigarh and Mohali, but fans are still waiting in a hopeless quest for tickets at the Mohali stadium.
All in all, 16,000 tickets were released to the public - which were all sold out within hours. They were all snapped up so quickly that fans believe tickets were grabbed by black marketers.
Tickets in black have gone up to as high as Rs 1 lakh for a Rs 15,000 ticket while a Rs 10,000 ticket is now being sold at Rs 50,000. Tickets worth Rs 250 are fetching between Rs 15000 to Rs 20,000 each. Even lawmakers - used to getting VIP treatment, have sidelined.
There are no more tickets at sale at the Mohali stadium, but black marketing of tickets is rampant.
