Sources said Dutta said this when he was being questioned face to face with an official of the ticket reselling company that was in charge of selling the tickets for the event. “Dutta said he would be able to initiate a refund only when he received the proceeds of the ticket sales,” said an officer attached to the probe. The police had earlier instructed the ticket reselling company to freeze the proceeds of the ticket sales and asked them not to transfer anything to Dutta, following the organiser’s arrest after the fiasco at the Salt Lake Stadium. They will be asked about their financial contracts and transactions with Dutta,” said a senior officer of the Bidhannagar city police. Dutta, who is the only one to have been arrested for the alleged mismanagement of the event, is currently in police remand.
