The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Saturday said it conducted a massive search operation across five Indian states over the illegal sale of tickets for upcoming concerts of Coldplay and Diljit Dosanjh.

The ED initiated the move after several FIRs were filed against fraudulent ticket concert sales.

Raids were conducted in Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Bangalore.

ED posted on X: "ED, New Delhi has conducts search operations on 25/10/2024 in Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Bangalore in relation to illegal sale of tickets of Coldplay and Diljeet Dosanjh’s Dilluminati concerts. During the search operations, several incriminating materials such as Mobile phones, laptops, sim cards etc. used in the scam were recovered and seized."

Coldplay's "Music of the Spheres World Tour" and Diljeet Dosanjh's "Dil-Luminati"concerts have generated massive curiosity and excitement among fans.

The rise in demand led to the fast selling of tickets across official platforms like like Bookmyshow and Zomato Live. 

Diljit has been performing his concerts abroad for several weeks now.

He will soon begin the India leg of his concerts.

After concerts in Delhi, he will perform in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, Kolkata, Bangalore, Indore, Chandigarh, and Guwahati.
