Bengaluru police stop Ed Sheeran’s street performance

Ed Sheeran, who enthralled fans in Bengaluru with an electrifying performance was stopped by the Bengaluru police when he put up a surprise show on Church Street. A clip showed an officer pulling the plug on the singer. Ed took to Instagram and wrote, "We had permission to busk, by the way. Hence, us playing in that exact spot was planned out beforehand. It wasn't just us randomly turning up. All good though.”

Speaking on the incident, Shekar T Tekkannanavar, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) for Central Bengaluru told ANI, "A member among the event organizers came to meet me to seek permission for the Streetside performance at Church Street. I refused to give permission because Church Street gets very crowded. That is the reason he was asked to vacate the place."
