It was a nightmare for the thousands of cricket fans who descended on the Gymkhana Ground with the hope of purchasing tickets for the T-20 international match between India and Australia, scheduled to be held at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad on Thursday.
It was a sorry sight to see so many women cricket fans who were standing in the queue since early morning, with some of them were seen holding kids in their arms. Many were injured in the utter chaos at the Ground even as police had to resort to lathicharge the fans.
Though there were reports of a woman fan succumbing to the injuries in the melee, the top police official at the spot was seen insisting to a TV channel that it was not true and only some were rushed for treatment of minor injuries.
