Punjabi singer and Bollywood actor Harrdy Sandhu Detained by Chandigarh Police moments before his performance at a high-profile fashion show in Sector 34. The reason? The lack of a separate performance permit. This action comes in the wake of recent traffic congestion issues caused by large-scale events in the city.
Harrdy Sandhu Detained by Chandigarh Police

According to sources, the event organizers had obtained general permissions for the fashion show but failed to secure a specific permit for Sandhu’s performance. As per the Chandigarh administration’s new directives, artists and event planners must acquire an additional performance permit to avoid traffic disruptions and maintain public safety.
The crackdown follows last month’s major traffic chaos in Chandigarh when singer Karan Aujla’s concert resulted in severe gridlocks, leading the authorities to impose stricter regulations on large-scale public events.
Fans Left Stunned, Industry Reacts
Harrdy Sandhu’s unexpected detainment left his fans and event attendees in shock. Videos circulating on social media show fans expressing their disappointment, with many questioning whether the police action was justified or an overreaction.
Popular Punjabi singer Satinder Sartaaj voiced his concern over the growing bureaucratic hurdles for artists. He suggested that the government implement a ‘one-window clearance’ system to streamline permissions for artists performing at public events.
Industry insiders believe that while regulations are necessary for crowd control and safety, sudden detainment of artists without prior warnings can negatively impact live events and tarnish the city’s entertainment image.
Fair Action or Overreaction?
As Chandigarh tightens event regulations, it remains to be seen how these new rules will shape the city’s entertainment landscape. Will this lead to more organized event management or deter artists from choosing Chandigarh as a performance venue? Only time will tell.
