FIR Filed Against Organisers of Honey Singh’s Mumbai Concert Over Alleged Illegal Lasers

The probe will test event rules near airports that restrict lasers to protect pilots.

Overview

  • Mumbai Police registered a case naming Indrajit Singh of Tamannaz Worldwide after alleged use of unapproved laser lights at the MMRDA Grounds.
  • Officials say the beams were projected into restricted airspace near the airport, a risk because bright lasers can distract or briefly impair pilots on approach.
  • Attendance swelled to an estimated 18,000 to 20,000, far above what was declared, which strained security and crowd control at the venue.
  • Investigators are reviewing whether the organisers secured required permissions for the laser systems and could seek penalties under public-safety and aviation rules.
  • The show was part of Honey Singh’s My Story World Tour, and police action follows a 2024 Bombay High Court ruling that permits intervention when lasers create hazards.
