Indian Idol is returning with its fifth season post IPL and the auditions for the same were supposed to start at Delhi, Ahmedabad, Indore and Mumbai. But today the Delhi auditions have been cancelled because the police refused to grant permission.
Apparently, 10 to 15 thousand people had turned up for the auditions yesterday. The organisers tried their best to manage the crowd, but finally the police had to intervene and resort to lathi charge to control them, after which the auditions happened successfully.
But the police seem to be in no mood to help the organisers today and they have refused to give them permission for the auditions. The auditions have been called off today but it will happen sometime later this week for sure. A source informs, "Yes the
Indian Idol 5 auditions of Delhi have been cancelled today because the police have not given the required permissions for it. It will happen on some other day now. The auditions are on in Mumbai, Indore and Ahmedabad."
Namit Sharma, Business Head, Wizcraft confirmed the news while Ajit Thakur Business Head Sony TV remained unavailable for comments.
