What did Delhi Police say about the IPL pass scam?

Amid the IPL pass scam investigation, a Delhi Police source told the IE, "This was a very systematic racket with this DDCA official at the top. Depending on the star value of the game and players, the rates of the ticket would be decided. Closer to the start of the game, they would charge more.
