Cop stops busker playing music at Delhi CP has gone viral on the Internet. Many people were irritated by it, including actor Rajesh Tailang, who shared the video on Twitter. He even tagged Delhi Police in his post, saying that these artists make the city ‘more aesthetical’ and ‘musical’. The now-viral video shows a busker named Anshul Riaji, commonly known as Fakira, performing at Delhi’s CP in front of a large crowd. Soon after, a police officer approaches him and requests that he turn off the music. “Sunai nahi de raha hai kya” (Can’t you hear me) says the cop. Stand up (khade ho).” Anshul responds, “Ye koi tareeka hai kya” (Is this the way)? The cop eventually tells the mob to disperse.

“Watched this clip on Instagram. This is not done. These artists make our Delhi more aesthetical, and musical. Shame!!!” read the caption of actor Rajesh Tailang’s video on Twitter.

The actor’s video has received over 4.1 lakh views since it was shared on January 4, and the numbers are still growing. Several comments have also been left on the share.

Here’s what netizens’ comment

“There is a proper place for it. Nobody has the right to plop down anywhere they like and blast their music, whether others like it or not,” shared an individual. “Don’t know if Delhi has some legal regulations that prohibit this, but you will see artists in USA, UK at corners, train stations just playing it and in many cases people joining in or at least enjoying it,” commented another. “There is a thing called performance license? Was that taken by the artist? If we compare this act with the western world, we should know they pay a certain fee. It’s not like movies, you go & perform,” remarked a third. “Busking should not be a problem in a country like ours, and if it is, then no one should be allowed to ask for alms while singing songs. No one should be allowed to play songs on a cart and ask for donations. Period” wrote a fourth.
