If the reports of Times of India regarding the said issue are to be believed, then this fan found an Instagram account named ‘ipl_2024_tickets_24’, in which it was claimed to sell genuine match tickets.

For proof, this account holder also gave Aadhar card and mobile number to the person and described himself as an authorized IPL ticket seller. After this, the victim was asked to send Rs 2300 per ticket and he sent a total of Rs 7900 to this user named Padma Sinha Vijay Kumar.

After this the person said that match tickets would be sent to you through e-mail, but the ticket did not arrive.
