BookMyShow announced that Punjabi-Canadian singer Shubh's India tour has been cancelled after he faced intense backlash for allegedly supporting Khalistani elements in a social media post.
A complete refund has been initiated of the ticket amount for all consumers who had purchased tickets for the show.
Shubhneet Singh, who was slated to perform in multiple locations in India, sparked an outrage shared a distorted map of India without Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab on his Instagram Stories.
'Singer Shubhneet Singh’s Still Rollin Tour for India stands cancelled. To that end, BookMyShow has initiated a complete refund of the ticket amount for all consumers who had purchased tickets for the show. The refund will be reflected within 7-10 working days in the customer’s source account of the original transaction,' the platform said.
BookMyShow did not comment on the ongoing outrage, but the move comes shortly after the brand boAt withdrew its sponsorship for Shubh’s India tour.
BoAt said on X (previously known as Twitter), 'At boAt, while our commitment to the incredible music community runs deep, we are first & foremost a true Indian brand. Therefore, when we became aware of the remarks made by artist Shubh earlier this year, we chose to withdraw our sponsorship from the tour.'
Shubh was scheduled to perform in Mumbai from September 23 to 25 as part of the Cruise Control 4.0 event. He had also planned a three-month-long tour in India.
