The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) had let in two extra persons, beyond the 40 that were registered for housekeeping, during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match on May 2, it has been learned. Incidentally, Delhi police have arrested two persons for indulging in 'betting' during the said match.

"There were 40 persons who had the permission to get into the Arun Jaitley Stadium for housekeeping during IPL matches at Delhi's Aun Jaitley Stadium. However, these two individuals, who were arrested by Delhi Police, managed to get into the stadium," a DDCA, official in the know of things, told IANS.

"So there were 42 eventually who managed to get in. The contracted worker - a cleaner - who led to the arrest of these two was, however, part of the 40 that were registered," said the official.

Earlier on May 3, Delhi Police nabbed two supposedly IPL "accredited" individuals for illegally entering Arun Jaitley Stadium during the Rajasthan Royals-SunRisers Hyderabad match.
