Her announcement came a day after the organisers moved the High Court for the event to be allowed as the Karnataka government had refused permission for it after protests by Kannada outfits.

“Since the police of Bangalore have publicly said that they will not be able to ensure mine & all who attend safety for my New Years event, my team & I feel safety of the people should always come first therefore I cannot attend. God bless & I wish everyone a safe & happy New Year! (sic)” she tweeted.

Earlier In the week a petition filed in the High Court, event management firm TimeCreations said pending police permission, it is unable to move forward  with arrangements

The government had earlier on December 15 disallowed the show in Bengaluru following protests by Kannada outfits, which said it would be an “assault” on city’s culture.

Sunny Leone was scheduled to perform at Manyata Tech Park in the city suburbs but in wake of the incidents of molestation and eve-teasing reported on last new Year’s Eve in Bengaluru, the Bengaluru City Police have been extra cautious on giving permission for events.
