Southampton cancels a planned Sikh celebration following safety concerns after unrest in the city. Several outlets report that violent disorder occurred on Tuesday evening. The disruption follows the sentencing of Vickrum Digwa, 23, who is reported to have been jailed on Monday for a minimum of 21 years after stabbing Henry Nowak to death last year. In response to the unrest and the risk of further disorder, local organisers decide to cancel the event. The reports describe the disturbances as riots occurring in the period leading up to and after Digwa’s sentencing, with heightened attention on community safety. Authorities and organisers cite concerns about maintaining public order and preventing further incidents. The cancellation reflects a temporary public-safety measure tied to the recent violence rather than any change to the underlying legal case. No alternative date is indicated in the provided accounts.
