The notice was issued after a complaint by a Chandigarh-based Professor, Panditrao Dharenavar, against Diljit Dosanjh to prevent him from singing such songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence during the live show. The complainant submitted video evidence as well.
The notice read, “As cited by representer with video evidence that you have sung songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence promoting songs (CASE, Panchatara, Patiala Pegg, ) during the live show in Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on 26th and 27th of October.

The singer was also directed not to bring children on stage. “Your concert guidelines say that children are allowed below 13 years of age. Concert guidelines also say that concerts may include loud sounds and flashing lights. Both loud music and flashing lights are harmful to children,” the notice added.
The manager and organisers of the event have also been directed to ensure that the peak sound pressure level does not exceed the permissible limit.
