Chinnaswamy stadium, in Bengaluru on April 5, 2026. | Photo Credit: ANI The Special Investigations Division of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) arrested 11 persons for allegedly selling Indian Premier League (IPL) match tickets in the black market during the high-profile clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru. Following the stampede in 2025 that killed 11 persons, one of the measures introduced this time was the m-ticketing system where tickets were sent to registered mobile numbers. This move was believed to root out black tickets as well, as each ticket was now traceable. The arrests by the CCB have turned the spotlight on loopholes in the system.
