The Coldplay concert at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad took an unexpected turn when two individuals were arrested for unruly behaviour and in an inebriated state. The incident occurred on the night of January 25 during the much publicised event, attended by thousands of music enthusiasts.
According to Chandkheda police, the accused identified as Vikas Patel (30) of Surat and Akshay Patel (28) of Mumbai, were found heavily intoxicated near Gate No. 1 of the stadium around 8.30 pm.
The accused were reportedly consuming alcohol without the required permit and were behaving deliriously and inappropriately. Their actions disrupted the orderly proceedings of the event and drew attention from the authorities on duty at the stadium.
A team led by police officials detained the individuals after observing the smell of alcohol and erratic behaviour. Upon questioning, neither of the accused could produce a valid permit for consuming alcohol, leading to their arrest under various sections of the Gujarat Prohibition Act.
The police statement further detailed that panchas (independent witnesses) were called to document the incident, and the accused admitted their names and personal details during the inquiry. Both individuals have been booked, and further investigation is on.
