International singer Diljit Dosanjh will be performing in Indore, Madhya Pradesh on December 8, as part of his Dil-Luminati Tour. Just ahead of the event, local police arrested two individuals, who have been involved in the reselling of Diljit’s concert tickets at double the price, reported ANI.
The accused had bought tickets for the Indore show through online platforms, and were caught reselling them to others in black for Rs 10,000, shared Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Crime Branch Rajesh Tripathi.
“Crime Branch is continuously monitoring the black marketing of the tickets (of actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert). We received the information that two people are involved in this. They have bought the tickets online and now selling them in black at double the price. We have arrested two accused. We have recovered a total of 5 tickets. They were trying to sell the tickets worth Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000 for Rs 10,000,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Crime Branch Rajesh Tripathi told ANI.
India leg of Diljit’s Dil-Luminati concert has been embroiled in controversy after several people complaint of not getting tickets from the official platforms. The same were then sold on third party websites for higher prices, making it difficult for people to buy them.
