As Sonu Nigam gears up for his upcoming concert in Bengaluru later this month, a 2025 controversy has surfaced again, leaving his upcoming show in limbo. The singer's upcoming Bengaluru concert has now faced a threat from the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV), which urged the city police to deny permission for the event scheduled for October 24. 

Sonu Nigam faces protest ahead of Bengaluru concert

The organisation has threatened statewide protests if the event goes ahead. In his letter to the Bengaluru City Police Commissioner, KRV State President TA Narayana Gowda claimed that Sonu Nigam had insulted Kannadigas by comparing a request for a Kannada song to the Pahalgam terror attack of 2025.
