Overview
- The show at Faridpur Zilla School, slated for around 9 p.m. on December 26, was called off at about 10 p.m. on orders from the district administration.
- Organisers said a group of outsiders tried to force entry, threw bricks and stones, and attempted to take control of the stage before attendees pushed them back.
- Reports from organisers and local media put injuries at roughly 15 to 25 people, mostly students, while police said the exact number is still being verified.
- James left the venue safely under security, and no injuries to the artist or his band were reported.
- Footage shared online has not been independently verified, and the incident is being treated as part of a recent pattern of attacks on cultural institutions such as Chhayanaut and Udichi.
