Cyberabad Commissioner of Police Avinash Mohanty today said that the police had not given permission for the proposed Sunburn Music Festival on New Year eve.
He responded on the issue after CM Revanth Reddy raised it during Sunday's Collectors' conference.
Mohanty said that although the organisers of the event submitted an application seeking permission, the police did not give it. He said that the police had denied the permission to the organisers as it was not the same event being held in the other cities of the country.
He said that the organisers had made arrangements to hold the event in Hitec City.
While raising the issue, CM Revanth Reddy told the officials that the organisers of the event had already started online bookings on Bookmyshow, and asked the authorities who gave the permission for the event. Following this, the police officials summoned the organisers of the event and the Bookmyshow officials, and warned them of legal action if they did not stop the bookings.
The police have reportedly already filed a case against Bookmyshow.
