A New Year's Eve concert featuring actor Sunny Leone in Mathura was cancelled after strong objection from the priests in the city. He stated, "We will not allow this holy city to be tarnished.Some people are conspiring to defame the city of Krishna." By organising such events, the organisers are trying to incite religious sentiments and tarnish the religious city. “Despite this, we decided to cancel the programme in view of social and religious sentiments,” TOI quoted him as saying. According to the organisers, the DJ show was planned for a limited audience of 300 people, with ticketed entry.
