Metallica: India gig organisers arrested
Four organisers of a planned Indian gig by US rock group Metallica have been arrested after the show was called off, leading fans to smash up the stage.
The band had been due to play in Delhi on Friday. They said the concert was postponed after a security barrier in front of the stage collapsed.
Dozens of angry fans then raided the stage and vandalised equipment.
Police said on Sunday that four executives of DNA Entertainment Network were arrested on fraud charges.
Alok Mittal, joint commissioner of police in Gurgaon, near Delhi, told the AFP news agency a member of the public had made a complaint after DNA Entertainment Network refused to refund the ticket money.
DNA has posted details of how to obtain refunds on its website.
Reports suggest that some 25,000 people were waiting to watch the band when it was called off.
The Times of India said fans then vandalised the sound systems and threw bottles at the LED display screens.
