Pune: A controversy has emerged ahead of the upcoming concert of rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, scheduled to be held in the city on Saturday (4th April). A resident of Chandigarh has written to Pune City Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar, raising objections over certain aspects of the event.
The complaint focuses on the concert venue at Mahalakshmi Lawns and questions both safety arrangements and the nature of the content to be performed. The complainant has urged authorities to take preventive action before the event takes place.
One of the key objections is to the performance of popular songs like ‘Chaar Botal Vodka’ and ‘Millionaire’. The letter claims that these songs promote alcohol and related substances. Since minors are allowed at the concert, the complainant has expressed concern about their possible negative influence. A demand has been made to restrict these songs during the event.
The letter also raises safety concerns regarding stage performances. It specifically mentions a recent incident in Mumbai where a car was brought onto the stage during a show. The complainant has warned that such acts could lead to serious accidents and has requested that no vehicles be allowed on stage during the Pune concert.
The issue gains importance as Honey Singh’s Mumbai concert had also faced controversy over the alleged use of laser lights without proper permission. With a large crowd expected in Pune, there are growing calls for strict monitoring and adherence to safety rules.
Pune Police have not yet made an official statement on the complaint. It remains unclear whether any restrictions will be imposed or changes will be directed to the event organisers.
