During the investigation, officials uncovered a key link in the illegal trade.
They found that tickets officially allocated to cricket club secretaries were diverted into the black market. Each club secretary reportedly received around 17 tickets.
However, instead of distributing them through proper channels, some individuals sold them at inflated prices.
This practice exploited the high demand created by the IPL season. Consequently, fans faced difficulty in purchasing tickets at genuine prices.
Moreover, police gathered evidence suggesting involvement of certain club secretaries in the racket.
Therefore, investigators are now probing this angle in detail. Authorities are also working to identify the main organizers behind the network.
Officials stated that the accused took advantage of the IPL craze to cheat cricket fans.
Meanwhile, police teams continue efforts to track down other members linked to the operation.
The Hyderabad Police reiterated that strict action will follow against those involved in illegal ticket sales. They also urged the public to purchase tickets only through authorized platforms.
