Agra: After recovering from COVID-19, Gaurav Shukla went with his family of four to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. While he was parking his car near the magnificent monument, he was approached by a man selling him Taj Mahal entry tickets - at inflated rates. The Rs50 ticket (for domestic tourists) were being sold for Rs200. But, luckily, Gaurav was already in possession of entry tickets, booked online, so he refused. But not everyone is lucky like Gaurav.
In the beginning of November 2020, many tourists approached the Archeological Survey of India (ASI), Agra Circle Office, complaining about the black marketing of Taj Mahal’s entry tickets. This forced the superintendant of ASI, Vasant Swarnkar, to write to the district magistrate and police about the black marketing of tickets. After this, police arrested half a dozen people under Section 151 of the code of criminal procedure.

A police colonel previously dismissed from work and charged by police for helping former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra flee from Thailand shortly before she faced a court ruling in the rice-pledging scandal in 2017 has been quietly reinstated for more than a year now, according to a source.
Chairit: Dismissed in October 2017
The reinstatement of Pol Col Chairit Anurit, a former deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau s (MPB) Division 5, possibly came after the public prosecutor resolved not to indict him despite a recommendation by Pathumwan police to indict him and three other suspects on charges of dereliction of duty, assisting a criminal suspect to escape and document falsifying, the source said.
