Alleged Harassment Mars Post Malone's Indian Debut Concert
Two British travel influencers alleged sexual harassment in a crowd of over 20,000 at Post Malone’s first India concert, raising concerns about safety at large events, police said.
- On Monday, Emma, British travel influencer based in Bangkok, said she and a friend were touched without consent at the Post Malone concert held at Veterinary College field, Guwahati, where over 20,000 tickets were sold following Assam cabinet's concert tourism policy.
- The Assam cabinet approved a 'Policy for Concert Tourism' in May to establish Assam as a top concert destination, with the Assam Tourism Department hosting the event organized by BookMyShow.
- On Tuesday, Emma posted a video on Instagram with over 76,000 followers showing her confronting the crowd and moving to the back near vendors after just 10 minutes because she felt unsafe.
- Guwahati police said they are looking into the social media post, with DCP Mrinal Deka noting investigation, while Joint Commissioner of Police Ankur Jain said texts were sent to the two foreign nationals and he is awaiting their reply.
- The episode raises questions about Assam's concert-promotion policy, which offers state-backed support, as Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi demanded arrests and a probe, while event organisers said they had adequate officers.
