A department store owner of Chandigarh was arrested for black marketing tickets of the crucial India-Pakistan World Cup semifinal match to be held at Mohali. He was selling the Rs.250 ticket for Rs.25,000, according to the police department spokesperson said Sunday.

The police department developed that operation after receiving a tip-off that a shop keeper in Burail village was re-selling tickets illegally. After knowing that, police set a trap and sent an undercover officer as a decoy customer to the shop late Saturday.

The fake shopper made a deal to get two tickets of Rs.250 face value each for Rs.50,000. That means a hundred times its real value.

‘We have caught Naresh Garg in fraganti while receiving the money. He told us that he bought the tickets on March 21 from the Central Bank of India head branch’, affirmed Amanjot Singh, police inspector on charge of this operation.

It is obvious that The World Cup fever has reached its highest point in India when a Rs.15,000 ticket for the March 30 match between India and Pakistan is being sold for about Rs.100,000 in the black market.

India and Pakistan will play at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium in Mohali, some 10 km from the place of the black market ticket store.
