honey singh concert: हनी सिंह कॉन्सर्ट का मनोरंजन कर नहीं चुकाया तो लाइट-साउंड से भरा 1 करोड़ का कंटेनर किया था जब्त (इनसेट), हाई कोर्ट ने दिए आदेश

Following a Honey Singh concert held on Saturday at C-21 Estate, the municipal corporation launched a major operation on Sunday morning. A container filled with sound and lighting equipment, valued at ₹1 crore, was seized for non-payment of ₹50 lakh in entertainment tax.
There had been an ongoing dispute between Honey Singh’s show organisers and the corporation regarding the tax. Late Friday night, the organisers deposited ₹7.84 lakh as tax with the corporation. On Saturday, Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav learned that the organisers had paid less tax than required. According to the GST portal, tickets worth over ₹3.28 crore were sold. Consequently, the corporation demanded ₹50 lakh in entertainment tax. Corporation officials arrived on the scene on Saturday to collect the tax, but the action was deferred due to concerns about potential crowd unrest. The action was taken on Sunday morning.
