Bengaluru, Jan 12 (IBNS) : French DJ David Guetta’s charity concert of English dance and music, scheduled to be held for Thursday, has been cancelled on the ground of "law and order situation" following the New year's eve molestation incident in the IT city, reports said.

The Grammy award winner DJ is on a four-city tour, which was to begin in Bengaluru. The other cities waiting for his concert are Mumbai, Hyderabad and New Delhi.

The organisers said they hoped to "reschedule" the concert if they get permission from the authorities and the artiste, though that seems highly uncertain  at he moment.

Sunburn, the organisers, have  said in a statement that authorities have recommended against the concert because of a law and order issue after the alleged incidents of molestation.

"We at Sunburn tried our very best to make it happen but the authorities understandably are not prepared to take any chances. Hence today's concert unfortunately stands cancelled. We shall try to reschedule the concert subject to from the artist and the authorities. We will be back with more information as soon as possible," the statement said.

NDTV, however, quoted the Bengaluru police as saying that the  cancellation of the  event has nothing to do with the incidents on New Year's Eve but because of an agricultural body elections.
