A photo of the same went viral on micro-blogging platform “X”, with noted journalist Qaiser Mohammad Ali sharing the photo on “X”.

“#DPL2025 SERIOUS #ALERT: How’s this man (see pix) using a mobile inside Arun Jaitley Std during the Outer Delhi-New Delhi #DPL tie on Aug 3? Will #DDCA cancel his accreditation? Will #BCCI Anti-Corruption Unit #ACU act? #BCCI #crickettwitter #corruption #ICC #CricTracker #Cricket,” he captioned.
