A woman named Mahima Jalan lost Rs 15,000 in a scam involving fake tickets for Diljit Dosanjh's 'Dil-Luminati Tour.' Her friend also lost Rs 6,000. Despite the scammer sharing his Aadhaar card for trust, Jalan admitted she was "foolish" to believe him.
Days after the Delhi Police cautioned the public about fraudulent ticket sales for Diljit Dosanjh's 'Dil-Luminati Tour' in India, a woman fell victim to the scam and lost Rs 15,000. Her companion was also defrauded of Rs 6,000. The victim, Mahima Jalan, revealed that, while the 32-year-old scammer offered his Aadhaar card to establish trust, she conceded it was "foolish" to believe him. Jalan has since made a complaint to the cyber cell.

¡°This account Dharmendra Singh (Crigyan07) has scammed me and a few more on X by selling fake tickets for Diljit Dosanjh¡¯s show. He took 15k from me, 6k from my friend and god knows how much money from others,¡± Jalan wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
She went on to say that she tried to reach him using a different phone number but was unsuccessful. Singh has also blacklisted her on the microblogging site after duping her into a Rs 15,000 ticket fraud.
Jalan has now turned to X for help, pushing her fans to harass Singh with messages and phone calls, hoping that the pressure will persuade him to refund the money. ¡°Kya pata darr ke ya sharam khaa kr paise vapas kar de [Who knows, maybe out of fear or shame, he¡¯ll refund it]!¡±

This same screenshot is circulating on the internet, and many scammers are trying to make money off of it! Never buy tickets like this! Even if he had shared it with you, he could have sold the same tickets to multiple people!
