Intensifying the probe into the Coldplay tickets scam, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police questioned the chief operating officer (COO) of BookMyShow for several hours on Monday. The EOW had earlier summoned both the COO, Anil Makhija, and CEO Ashish Hemrajani to join the investigation. On Monday, Hemrajani attempted to meet Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, but Fadnavis declined to meet him to ensure the investigation remains unbiased.
EOW sources revealed that Hemrajani has requested more time, while Makhija appeared on Monday to record his statement. He is likely to be summoned again for further clarification regarding the allegations in the Coldplay tickets scam, as alleged by lawyer Amit Vyas, the complainant in the case.
