WATCH: Fans Jump Railing To Illegally Enter Arun Jaitley Stadium Without Tickets, Raise Security Concerns Amid BRICS Summit

A video showing fans jumping over a railing to illegally enter the Arun Jaitley Stadium without tickets during the India vs Afghanistan T20I has been circulating on social media, sparking security concerns. The footage, which has been widely shared online, depicts several young individuals climbing over a railing before gaining entry into the stadium.

This unauthorized entry has raised questions about the security measures in place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, especially as the venue is hosting a high-profile international cricket match. The stadium, located in New Delhi, is currently under heavy security due to the presence of world leaders at the BRICS Summit, which is also being held in the city from September 12-13.

The summit sees the participation of notable leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The incident has heightened pressure on the security arrangements at the stadium, as it is expected to host around 25,000 to 35,000 spectators for the match. The Arun Jaitley Stadium's crowd and security management have come under scrutiny, with Delhi Traffic Police expressing concerns about handling the large crowds and associated security requirements.

Netizens have also taken to social media to express their worries about the incident, questioning how fans without tickets were able to bypass the barriers and enter the venue without undergoing the standard security and ticket-checking procedures.
