New Delhi: Renowned playback singer Sonu Nigam has refuted reports that his concert at Delhi Technological University’s (DTU) Engifest 2025 was interrupted due to stone pelting. Clarifying the incident on Instagram, he revealed that the actual reason for pausing the show was a vape being thrown on stage, which hit his band member, Subhankar.
“Nothing like hurling of stones or bottles, as mentioned in some media, happened at DTU. There was one vape thrown by someone on stage that hit Subhankar’s chest, and that’s when I was informed about it,” Nigam wrote.
Following the incident, the singer momentarily halted the performance to caution the crowd against repeating such actions. “I paused the show and reminded the collegians that the show would have to be abruptly stopped if something like that happened again,” he added.
Nigam further lightened the mood, sharing that the only thing thrown on stage afterward was a “Pookie band,” referencing a popular social media trend.
Fans expressed relief over his clarification, with many thanking him for addressing the misinformation. “Thank you for clarifying… was worried,” one user commented.
