Pune: A musical concert stopped by police!
That, too, a live show of AR Rahman!
Yes, that is precisely what happened on Sunday night at Pune.
The maestro was in his elements and the crowd lapped up one classic after another from Dil Se, Roja, Bombay and many more, when Pune Police personnel walked up to the stage and asked him to stop.
It was past 10 pm, which was the permissible time for the concert, but Rahman was still performing. Hence, the police action.
“Rahman was singing his last song and while singing he did not realise that it was already past 10 pm, so our police officials who were at the venue went and conveyed to him the deadline to be followed as per Supreme Court guidelines… after that he stopped singing,” ANI quoted Smartana Patil, DCP Zone 2, Pune Police, as saying.
The 56-year-old Rahman took to his social media to thank fans for making the show a success.
“Pune! Thank you for all the love and euphoria last night! Was such a roller coaster concert! No wonder Pune is home to so much classical music! We shall be back soon to sing with you all again!” Rahman tweeted along with pictures from the concert.
