Man held for selling fake concert tickets in Delhi
Delhi Police have arrested a 29-year-old B Tech dropout for allegedly selling fake tickets to an upcoming music event featuring a popular singer, scheduled to be held in the city later this month.
The Central Bureau of Investigation arrested an inspector and a sub-inspector of the Delhi Police for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 10 lakh from a complainant, officials said on Tuesday.
The duo were demanding the bribe for not pursuing the complainant registered with the Burari police station, the probe agency said.
In this regard, a case was registered by the federal probe agency on Monday against the two on the complaint that the accused inspector initially demanded a bribe of Rs 1.5 crore from the complainant and later settled for Rs 1 crore, through the Sub-Inspector, for not implicating the complainant in a case.

According to the CBI, following negotiations, the accused conceded to accept a bribe of Rs 10 lakh from the complainant as a part payment of the total money.
The CBI later laid a trap and caught the SI red-handed while accepting part of the bribe from the complainant, while the inspector was apprehended later. Further probe is underway in the matter.
