AR Rahman’s Pune concert stopped by the police leaves fans upset

Legendary singer AR Rahman is known for his soulful and heart-touching music. Recently, the singer was performing in Pune at a concert. While the singer was singing, a policeman stepped on the stage and stopped his concert. This has left fans extremely upset. In fact, a lot of people have taken to Twitter to point out how the music maestro was disrespected.

A video of a policeman stopping his concert has surfaced online…

AR Rahman was performing in Pune at the Raja Bahadur Mill area in Pune. The timings of the live concert were from 8 pm-10 pm. A police officer went on stage and stopped the concert midway. This action by the police wasn’t well received by the crowd and further left his fans upset. Later, police issued a clarification stating that the singer had exceeded his time and hence it was necessary to stop him. According to the sources, the singer was singing his famous song Chaiyya Chaiyya while he was made to stop. 

Extremely disappointing of #PunePolice to shut down #ARRahman ‘s concert in #Pune at 10.14PM. While the rule of 10pm cutoff is understood, this is nt how a visiting artist of his stature should hav been treated. He was almost on his finale song when this happened??cc @CPPuneCity pic.twitter.com/HYEor4wiYX
