Reddit user exposes the scams happening in Punjab Kings' new home ground in Mullanpur
The newly-built Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh, has been among the most talking points of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. It is a home ground for Punjab Kings (PBKS), who have shifted from the I.S. Bindra Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali.
The stadium was inaugurated by the BCCI secretary Jay Shah in the presence of a few other board members during Punjab Kings’ maiden game of IPL 2024 against Delhi Capitals (DC). The venue received ample positive feedback from fans and players, with PBKS starting with a win here.
However, some shocking updates came from Mullanpur after Punjab Kings’ latest encounter against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at this venue last night. One of the fans who visited to watch the game live with his friends made shocking revelations about a few scams going on inside the stadium.

After reaching the stadium somehow, the user noticed no one was checking the tickets of people coming and everyone was allowed to go inside. However, the police staff collected the tickets from everyone, making it look like a normal procedure.

After some arguments and requests, they were allowed to watch the game standing. The user advised everyone not to visit the stadium to follow the game, exposing all the frauds in Mullanpur.
