Crackdown on railway ticket scalping

Police busted 256 groups and seized 810 people for scalping railway tickets or making and selling fake tickets as of Thursday, according to the railway police bureau.

The bureau said it launched a crackdown on ticket scalping on December 10 and had confiscated more than 49,000 rail tickets for overpriced reselling as well as over 120,000 counterfeit tickets.

Railway police authorities wanted enough time to look into public tip-offs on possible ticket scalping cases. As many as 397 police units were deployed specially for such investigations.

Police also strengthened inspections around ticket booths and monitoring websites.
