Singer Kailash Kher was reportedly attacked during a concert in Karnataka’s Hampi on Sunday. A bottle was thrown at the singer from the crowd that was angry with him for not singing Kannada songs during the closing ceremony of the Hampi Utsav, news agency ANI said.
According to the police, two locals have been detained in this case and their statements have been recorded.
The bottle thrown at Mr Kher missed him by a whisker and dropped on the stage behind him. The singer, unperturbed by the incident, continued his performance. Seconds later, an official was seen removing the half-filled water bottle from the stage.
The three-day Hampi Utsav commenced on January 27. It is an annual festival organised by the Karnataka government to commemorate the heritage of the former Vijayanagara Empire.
