A sting operation by a TV channel reportedly exposed Nirmal Baba's involvement in black marketing during the recently held samagam in Delhi. According to reports, a ticket of the samagam of Nirmal Baba is sold for Rs 5,000 in black market. Despite the fact that the opening and closing of ticket registration is being notified by the official website of Nirmal Baba, the aides of the "godman" offer tickets to those people who can afford to pay the huge amount of money for the tickets on the spot. The channel also showed how close aides of Nirmal Baba take money as 'donations' in a 'black bag' before providing prasad [elaichi (green cardamom), misri (sugar crystals)] of Nirmal Baba.
