New Delhi, November 12 : A controversy has erupted ahead of Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh’s Ahmedabad concert after WhatsApp messages surfaced involving a Delhi University student. The texts show the student offering female peers financial compensation, gifts, travel, and VIP access to attend the event alongside Non-Resident Indian (NRI) visitors.
The student, identified as Anas Khan, was serving as the NSUI vice-president at Ramanujan College. Following the allegations, the college suspended him, while the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) clarified that he had already been removed from the organisation during the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections.
According to reports, Ramanujan College issued Khan's suspension order on November 6 after its Proctorial Committee conducted a preliminary inquiry into a complaint against him. The complaint alleged that Khan had approached female students and offered them financial incentives and other benefits to travel to Ahmedabad for Diljit Dosanjh's concert.
The alleged WhatsApp conversations reportedly included offers of payments ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹30,000, depending on the students' profiles. The offers also included travel arrangements, concert tickets and VIP access to the presidential gallery or lounge.
The alleged requirements mentioned in the messages included being "good-looking", having a presentable appearance and possessing excellent communication skills.
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), which brought the matter to attention, alleged that some of the students approached were freshers aged between 17 and 18 years.
As part of the disciplinary action, Khan has been barred from participating in academic and extracurricular activities until February 1, 2027. However, he has been permitted to appear for his scheduled university examinations.

Following the controversy, NSUI clarified that Khan was no longer associated with the organisation when the allegations surfaced. The student body stated that he had already been removed during the DUSU elections over alleged anti-organisational activities and indiscipline.
The ABVP has also demanded a thorough investigation into the allegations against Khan. ABVP Delhi State Secretary Sarthak Sharma said that women's safety should not be used for political posturing and called for accountability in the matter.
The controversy comes as Diljit Dosanjh continues his Aura World Tour in India, with seven concerts scheduled across different cities. Ahmedabad is among the destinations, alongside Indore, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lucknow and Chandigarh.
