Mishra said besides 2,000 policemen, two officers of the rank of DIG and Superintendent of Police had been deployed.

Mishra said a lot of people who couldn’t get tickets were making efforts since Saturday to get one. Some people tried to take advantage of the situation by trying to sell some colourful tickets bearing striking resemblance to the tickets of the match.

He said five persons had been arrested in this regard.
