The Delhi Police has denied permission to the organisers of Diljit Dosanjh's concert in the national capital. The permission for the show, scheduled for October 30 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, was reportedly denied citing security concerns.
The decision comes as a setback to those looking forward to attending the live concert. Further details about the event and ticket-related arrangements are awaited.
In a letter addressed to ticketing platform BookMyShow, Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (South District) mentioned that the request to organise the Delhi leg of Diljit's Aura India Tour was examined but could not be approved.
The letter referred to “specific threat-related inputs,” the police's security and law-and-order commitments during the ongoing festive season, along with other concerns.
“Sir, with reference to your application dated 14.10.2026 on the subject cited above, I am to inform you that your request for organizing “Diljit Dosanjh's Aura India Tour Delhi” at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi, on 30.10.2026 has been examined by this office.
