On Monday evening, he took to Twitter and shared a video of the incident. “Did we all just have the ‘Rockstar’ moment on stage yesterday? I think we did! We were overwhelmed by the love of the audience and kept wanting to give more… Pune, thank you once again for such a memorable evening. Here’s a little snippet of our roller coaster ride;).” The video shows glimpses of Rahman’s performance, including the moment when a policeman walked onto the stage.

Smartana Patil, DCP Zone 2, Pune Police, said according to news agency ANI, “Rahman was singing his last song, and while singing he did not realise that it was already past 10 pm, so our police official who was at the venue went and conveyed to him the deadline to be followed as per the SC guidelines after that he stopped singing.” A senior officer with the Pune city police said the musical event was not allowed after 10 pm in line with the Supreme Court’s order. “So a few minutes past 10 pm, the police reminded the organisers of the event to stop the live show and follow the law. The organisers co-operated with the police and concluded the event,” the officer told Indian Express.
