Fraudulent IPL Tickets Made Using ChatGPT, Scam Uncovered Outside Ekana Stadium
In Lucknow, a gang selling fake IPL tickets using ChatGPT and Coral Draw has been uncovered. The accused had completed a course in 2D and 3D design and elevation through YouTube.
The Susant Golf City police reported that one of the accused has a polytechnic diploma while the other has completed high school. The gang prepared and sold fake IPL tickets, operating both online and around the stadium. Pradeep Singh, a resident of Urai, attempted to watch the LSG vs RCB match at Ekana Stadium on Thursday, purchasing two tickets from young men outside the stadium and making a payment of one thousand rupees via UPI.
However, the stadium staff found the tickets to be fake and prevented him from entering. Pradeep filed a complaint with the Susant Golf City police. The match on Thursday saw a huge turnout of fans eager to see Virat Kohli, leading to the accused exploiting this demand.
Inspector Rajiv Ranjan Upadhyay of Susant Golf City police informed that 15 fake IPL tickets, a laptop, a paper cutter, a car, 14 counterfeit tickets, 13 plain paper sheets, two Aadhaar cards, a passbook, three ATM cards, and a PAN card were recovered from the accused. The police traced the accused through the UPI transaction made by Pradeep.
The four accused, who are residents of Durg in Chhattisgarh, were apprehended near Dodankheda Chauraha. The accused include Shrikant Borkar, who works in car washing and design, Nootan Sahu, who has a polytechnic diploma in architecture, Vishwajit Sahu, who has completed high school and studied design through YouTube, and Rajendra Chaudhary, who also has completed high school and works in washing.
