However, music maestro AR Rahman himself has taken on X (formerly Twitter) to inform the concertgoers that his team will compensate for the loss and also, in an interview with a news portal he explained what actually happened.
Rahman explained the misconception that happened among police officers on duty, “The organisers (ACTC events) had put together about 46,000 chairs in the venue. In some sections, everybody sat on one side and didn’t move to the other side. Seeing this, the policemen on duty assumed that the venue was full and closed it. By this time, the show had already started inside.” ALSO READ: AR Rahman Reacts On Chennai Concert That Turned Into Bizarre, “I’m Terribly Disturbed”
