Fans and organisers allegedly clash at Shakib Khan's event in Assam
At an event in India's Assam, featuring Bangladesh's superstar Shakib Khan, his avid fans broke over a hundred chairs and the entire stage that was created for the actor.
This incident occurred yesterday evening when Khan was supposed to attend alongside his "Priyotoma" co-star Idhika Paul. They were scheduled to be on the programme at 8 pm local time, however, even until 11 pm, Shakib Khan and Idhika Paul did not show up.

According to the sources, due to the organisers' irresponsibility, Khan couldn't be there even though he was staying in Assam. On the other hand, the fans who bought the tickets worth Rs 1000, waited for more than three hours and couldn't meet their favourite stars, resulting in venting out their frustrations the way they did.
Meanwhile, Khan's production house in Dhaka, SK Movies, informed the media that multiple organisers were involved in the event in Assam. Disputes amongst themselves arose before the start of the event, leading to a failure to fulfil the conditions set by Shakib Khan before reaching the event. It is against this backdrop that the unfortunate incident occurred on Thursday night in Assam.
The associates from Khan's production house have expressed their regret towards his fans in Assam.
Before leaving Dhaka, Shakib Khan had announced that he would perform in two shows on December 28 and 29 in the West Khagrachari of Assam and at the courtyard of West Guwahati College respectively. He had initially planned to continue with the second show as well (the scheduled show on Friday), but Shakib Khan has cancelled the latter performance.
Khan has been busy with the shooting of Himel Ashraf's film "Rajkumar". He was scheduled to visit Kolkata from Assam. After completing the dubbing for Anonno Mamun's film "Dorod", he is expected to return to Bangladesh on December 31.
