Bajrang Dal’s Concerns: “No Meat, No Liquor, No Nonsense”
According to Yash Bachani, a member of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), there was intel that Diljit’s concert might serve liquor and meat. And for Bajrang Dal, that’s apparently a big no-no. Speaking to reporters, Bachani said,
“We’ve come here to inspect. We’ll ensure women’s safety, check for any Love Jihad incidents, and protest if necessary.”
He added ominously, “This was just a trailer. The full movie will be out tomorrow.” Bollywood-level drama, right?
Chanting slogans like “Jai Jai Shri Ram” and “Desh ka Bal, Bajrang Dal,” the group made it clear they mean business. It’s not every day you see protests that sound like a movie promotion. Meanwhile, Indore’s police department, led by Deputy Commissioner of Police Amrendra Singh, assured citizens that law and order would be maintained. Singh firmly stated, “We’ve banned open alcohol consumption, and every concern is being taken seriously.”

Indore Police Steps In: “No Open Liquor Allowed”
To ensure peace during the concert, the Indore police sprang into action. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Amrendra Singh assured citizens that every concern—women’s safety, drug use, and the serving of alcohol—was being taken seriously. He said:
“We have banned open alcohol consumption and will take everything into account.”
The police presence in and around the venue was beefed up. Let’s just say that Diljit’s security team probably had fewer people than the Indore police department that day.

Diljit’s Pune Concert Drama: Déjà Vu?
This wasn’t the first time Diljit’s tour ran into cultural resistance. A few weeks ago, his Pune concert faced similar issues. Following protests from political leaders and local organizations, the state excise department revoked the event’s liquor permit. Senior BJP leader Chandrakant Patil was one of those who objected to alcohol being served at the event.
But here’s the thing: whether in Pune or Indore, Diljit’s fans never fail to show up.
His concerts remain packed, controversies notwithstanding. If anything, these protests have just added free PR to his already booming Dil-Luminati Tour 2024.
Ticket Troubles in Indore: Black Marketing Bust
Adding to the drama, two individuals were arrested for selling concert tickets at inflated prices. The duo tried to turn ₹4,000 tickets into ₹10,000 goldmines, which didn’t sit well with the local Crime Branch. Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Tripathi remarked, “We caught them in the act. We seized five tickets that were being sold at double their original price.”
The Dil-Luminati Tour: A Star-Studded Affair
Diljit started his highly awaited Dil-Luminati Tour 2024 this October with an unforgettable performance in New Delhi. From Kolkata to Bengaluru, Pune to Indore, the tour has been a huge success. Each city contributed something unique (aside from protests, of course).
For example, at his Bengaluru concert, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone was spotted in the crowd. In typical Diljit style, he gave her a warm shoutout and even invited her on stage.
In Pune, actress Nimrat Kaur caught everyone’s attention while enjoying a live concert.
And if you expected Indore to be any different, think again. Despite the protests and ticket drama, a large number of fans turned out. After all, what’s the point of a small controversy when you can look forward to Diljit’s electrifying energy?
What Fans Have To Say
Despite the drama, Diljit’s fans continue to support him. An attendee in Indore said, “I came here for the music, not the politics,”.
FAQ’s- Bajrang Dal Protests Diljit Concert
Why is Bajrang Dal protesting Diljit Dosanjh’s concert in Indore?
Bajrang Dal has raised its objections against Diljit’s concert due to the serving of meat and alcohol at the event. Apparently, they’re worried that this goes against the city’s cultural values. To make matters more interesting, they also threw in concerns about “Love Jihad” (which, let’s be honest, sounds more like a plot from a Bollywood movie). In short: they believe the event clashes with their moral code. Spoiler: the concert still went ahead, and the fans were there for the music, not the politics.
Why did the liquor permit get revoked in Pune for Diljit’s concert?
The liquor permit for Diljit’s concert in Pune was pulled after a wave of protests. Local groups, including the youth wing of NCP and senior BJP leader Chandrakant Patil, were all against the idea of alcohol being served. Apparently, Pune wasn’t ready for an open bar at a concert, even if Diljit was ready to bring the party. So, the authorities had to step in and put a stop to that.
Did the police take any action during the protests in Indore?
Oh yes, the police were on top of things. They made sure there were no hiccups during the protests and worked to keep law and order intact. As per the police, there would be no alcohol served openly at the concert (so, no public drunken karaoke moments). Also, they took action against two individuals who were caught selling tickets at a much higher price than usual—talk about ticket scalping! But the police were quick to step in and make some arrests, ensuring everything stayed on track for the concert.
