Police Cancels Comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi’s Shows Over ‘Law & Orders’ Concerns

Stand-up comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi’s scheduled performances in Lucknow were cancelled due to law and order concerns raised by Lucknow police. The shows, which were set to take place at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan (IGP) at 3 pm and 7 pm on Saturday, were called off following apprehensions about potential “objectionable content”.

Assistant commissioner of police (Vibhuti Khand) Radha Raman Singh cited security concerns as the primary reason for denying the no-objection certificate (NOC). He said that the decision came in the wake of recent controversy surrounding podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, whose inappropriate remarks on a YouTube show sparked nationwide outrage.
