Often police, experts, and critics have advertised not to not buy black tickets for the World Cup games. However, fans still sell tickets in black in the hope that they become overnight millionaire. In a most recent case, the Mumbai Police have arrested a man named Akash Kothari, who was caught selling black tickets for the IND vs NZ semi-final near Wankhede Stadium for tomorrow’s game in Mumbai.
ANI shared a Tweet stating police also got documents and files shared of Akash Kothari to someone selling tickets. Currently, Akash is in police custody, and tickets have been seized.
