Four people, including a member of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), were arrested for allegedly selling complimentary cricket tickets for the India vs West Indies fourth T20I match in Hyderabad. The tickets, marked as "NOT FOR SALE," were reportedly being sold for Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,000 each. The incident was uncovered after Goshamahal police received information on October 12 about the illegal sale near SD Mall in Begum Bazaar.
Initially, two men, Avinash Darak and Mohit Somani, were detained and 11 complimentary passes were recovered. Further questioning revealed that these tickets were obtained through Akarshit Srivastava, whose father, Satish Chandra Srivastava, is an HCA member. The father and son were subsequently arrested. Police seized Rs 5,000 in cash, mobile phones, a motorcycle, and eight additional passes for a Navratri event.
All four accused were remanded to judicial custody, with investigations continuing into the ticket distribution process. Police have warned cricket fans against purchasing tickets from unauthorized sellers and urged them to report any suspected black market sales. This event occurred ahead of the fourth T20I between India and West Indies at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad, where India currently leads the five-match series 2-1.
