FIR lodged after youth disrupt music concert in Srinagar

Not playing a song demanded by audience led to ruckus, say police

The J&K police lodged an FIR against a group of youth who raised slogans and vandalised a music concert, organised by the J&K Tourism Department, in Srinagar on Sunday. “A group of miscreants created ruckus on the stage. It was triggered when one boy among the audience demanded a song of his choice to be played. However, his request was not fulfilled immediately. When he took away the microphone, one member of the cultural group slapped that boy. This led to the ruckus on stage,” a police spokesman said. The spokesman said the police used maximum restraint and avoided firing tear-gas shells.
