Although Rahman was singing the last track of the night, his hit number Chaiyya Chaiyya, the cops had to put an end to the concert.
Following the incident, the Pune Police said, “Rahman was singing his last song. However, while singing he did not realize that it was already past 10 pm, so one of our police officials, who was at the venue, climbed the stage to convey him that the deadline to be followed as per the Supreme Court guidelines. After that, he stopped singing.”
The venue for the concert was in Raja Bahadur Mill neighborhood. The live performance was scheduled for 8 pm to 10 pm. The musician apparently was also questioned by the cops since he went over the allotted time.
After being questioned about why he kept performing after the 10 o’clock deadline, Rahman departed from the stage.
Fans are not happy with the interruption of the Oscar-winning Padma Vibhushan musician’s performance midway.
