Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) did not gave Internationally acclaimed West Bengal singer-lyricist-composer Kabir Suman permission to perform at the National Museum.
DMP Commissioner MD Shafiqul Islam confirmed the matter, saying: “We did not give permission for the concert at Bangladesh National Museum, as the venue is a key point installation.”
The noted singer is scheduled to perform for fans in Dhaka with three concerts — from Saturday — at the National Museum.
The three-day event is being organised by event management company Peephole, which disclosed the details of the event at a press conference at the Bishwo Shahitto Kendro on Wednesday.
Tickets for the Kabir Suman concert on October 15 and 21 were sold out within 72 hours and tickets for October 18 were nearing being stocked out, the organisers said at the press conference.
They also informed that there will be virtual tickets for Sumon fans at home and abroad.
The concerts were set to mark the 30-year anniversary of Kabir Suman’s popular album “Tomake Chai”.
