"The crowd has broken into the ticket counters"
Karan Aujla’s Delhi concert descended into chaos, with long queues and fights breaking out.
Held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the show was part of the P-POP Culture India Tour 2026 and reportedly drew over 75,000 fans.
However, videos circulating online show crowd disorder and scenes of violence during the concert.
One clip shows a man lying on the ground while another repeatedly punches him.
A second individual appears to kick him during the scuffle.

Another video showed crowd disorder near entry points. The clip was captioned:
“Karan Aujla Delhi concert scenes. The crowd has broken into the ticket counters and taken all passes. Organisers on the spot had to run.”
There were also claims that people stole tickets to get into the concert.
Alleging that fans were made to wait for hours, one person added:
“Pathetic event management by @district_india for Karan Aujla’s Delhi concert.
“People literally stood for hours, hundreds involved in a stampede. The bands were not issued.
“Literally paid 6k for dogs***. How tf did you think you’d accommodate hundreds of people?”
Others raised concerns about pricing and overall organisation.
One user said: “My daughter went yesterday. A water bottle was Rs. 250 and food too was damn expensive.
“She spent Rs. 6K for the tickets, sheer waste of time, effort and money with such a mismanaged show.”
Unsurprised by the chaos, another wrote:
“All Desi concerts end up like this only. There is a reason all top-notch international concerts and festivals take place in Mumbai only. The crowd is well-behaved there.”

A comment read: “Best part is still many people will choose to go next time after all this nonsense happened and they know it will repeat again in concert like this.
“But still, many people choose to go. Wake up guys, for the safety.”
One user said: “This is why I question whether India is ready for concert culture… seriously stealing people’s tickets and then fighting inside the venue too.”
A comment stated:
“It was a mess, the district should be penalised for this. It’s a disaster and a bigger one waiting to happen.”
The organisers have yet to issue a detailed public response but it has left some worried about what may happen when Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, performs at the same venue on March 29, 2026.
Meanwhile, Karan Aujla’s tour continues across India.
He is scheduled to perform next in Mumbai and Pune on March 3.
Authorities have not confirmed whether any formal complaints have been filed in connection with the incident.
