However rumour spread that BPL tickets will be on sale today on 30th December after a local print and online portal mistakenly posted the wrong dates. Crowds gathered inside the UCB branches as people demanded for their tickets. Verbal altercation took place as the crowd justified their presence. Bank officials tried to communicate to the protesting fans that tickets have not been provided for sale. The main gates of the banks were enclosed for a while as crowd got animated. People had come from across town and were understandably irritated by the unavailability of the tickets. There was police presence at the branches however there was no news of physical violence taking place.
