On Sunday, Oscar-winner Rahman's music concert in Chennai had run into a controversy over allegations of mismanagement resulting traffic snarls on the busy East Coast Road, ticket-holders being denied entry into the venue and alleged sexual harassment of women among others.
Tambaram Police Commissioner A Amalraj had visited the spot later and held enquiries.
