Delhi Police have denied permission for Diljit Dosanjh’s scheduled concert at Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) Stadium in New Delhi on October 30, citing security concerns, according to ANI.
The decision has cast uncertainty over the Delhi leg of the singer’s Aura India Tour, with the police reportedly withholding clearance following a review of the organisers’ request.According to ANI, a letter reportedly issued by the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), South Delhi, and addressed to a ticketing platform cited threat-related inputs, security requirements during the festive season and other law and order concerns as reasons for rejecting the request.The police have not publicly provided further details about the specific security inputs that led to the decision. It is also unclear whether the organisers will seek fresh permission or explore the possibility of rescheduling the concert or shifting it to another venue.The development comes as fans await Dosanjh’s performance in the national capital. The singer, who has established a strong following in India and overseas, is known for his energetic live shows and performances at major international venues.
