Delhi Police arrested a person involved in selling fake tickets for Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh's concert in Delhi. The concert, part of Diljit's Dil-Luminati Tour, will be held on October 26 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
The arrest comes a month after Delhi Police issued a warning, urging fans to stay alert to online ticket scams. The tickets for the concert were sold out within minutes, leaving several fans frustrated.
However, the Delhi Police found out that the tickets were being sold at exorbitantly high prices online, and urged the citizens to be careful while dealing with resellers. Police also pointed out that fake tickets to the concert were being sold and advised people to be extra careful while clicking on unknown links.
Delhi Police stated that the accused was selling tickets through social media, and they were being sold at prices ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000.
In a post on Instagram, Delhi Police used a witty caption using Dosanjh’s hit song Oh Paise Puse Baare Billo Soche Duniya from his GOAT album to warn them about scams ahead of the concert.
“Gana sunne ke chakkar me ticket ke liye galat link par paise puse dekar apna band na bajwa lena (Don’t fall for fake ticket links and end up getting scammed; always verify first),” read the caption of the post.
Diljit Dosanjh reposted the creative warning on his Instagram Stories, tagged the Delhi Police handle, and posted a fist emoji to lend a mark of respect to the authorities.
Following Delhi, Diljit will perform in cities like Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, Kolkata and others. It will conclude with a show in Guwahati on December 29.
