The chief executive officer and co-founder Ashish Hemrajani and the company's technical head of BookMyShow have been summoned by Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in relation to a complaint alleging the black marketing of tickets for shows of British rock band Coldplay, according to an official on Friday.

 

An advocate's complaint has prompted the initiation of the probe into the ticketing platform, as per the official.

 

"Accordingly, the CEO and co-founder of BookMyShow Ashish Hemrajani along with the company's technical head have been summoned. Their statements will be recorded on Saturday. A preliminary enquiry has begun," the official said.

 

Incidentally, Coldplay added a third show to the Mumbai leg of the "Music of the Spheres World Tour 2025" due to the phenomenal response. The band will have three shows at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on January 18, 19 and 21 next year.
