Paytm responsible for stampede not HCA: Mohammad Azharuddin
Talking to reporters, Azharuddin stated that the HCA’s role doesn’t arise in ticket sales when the contract was given to Paytm. He denied the allegation of HCA blocked tickets and sold them in black. Some are involved in spreading baseless rumours against the HCA, he said.
Azharuddin warned to file a complaint on Paytm if Telangana police registers FIR against the HCA. “It is the responsibility of police to ensure no stampede take place during sale of tickets at counters,” he mentioned and assured that the HCA would bear medical expenses of those who have injured in stampede.
