Indian fans rioted at Tau Devi Lal Stadium today when The Great Khali failed to appear as advertised at a joint charity wrestling and fashion event, “War of Champions.” Organizers of the show were advertising the WWE star for the event despite knowing in advance he would not be appearing.
“We had clarified verbally to the organizers about ten days back that Khali would not be able to attend the event and we also had returned them the money,” said Khali spokesman Amit Swami. “Despite that the organizers went on to publicize Khali’s supposed appearance for reasons best known to them.”
The event’s promoters later claimed that Khali did not appear at the venue due to a contractual obligation with a sports channel, reportedly barred him making the appearance.
Police arrested one of the event’s organizers and booked him on charges of “cheating and breaching the trust of spectators,” citing thousands of tickets were sold to see Khali and the police were deceived into believing he would be appearing.
