Harrdy Sandhu detained by Chandigarh Police

Harrdy Sandhu was slated to perform at an event in Chandigarh on Saturday, February 8. According to the official page of the event, Harrdy was listed as the 'after-party headliner' in the event. Jacqueline Fernandez walked the ramp before he was to take the stage at the Exhibition ground in Sector 34. However, the Tribune reported that the Chandigarh Police detained him just before his performance.

The singer was taken to the Sector 34 police station from the stage for performing without permission. He was later let go after the organisers showed the required permission regarding the fashion show and music. However, an annoyed Harrdy left the city without performing as he was upset with the organisers and the authorities. People who were at the event confirmed to HT that the singer did not take the stage on Saturday night. However, HT could not independently verify if the actor was detained.
