Sonu Nigam Statement
Sonu Nigam himself was seen quoting about the incident in which he said “As the concert came to an end, I was heading down from the stage when a man named Swapnil Prakash Phaterpekar stopped me. Then he pushed Hari and Rabbani, who wanted to save me. Then I fell on the steps. Rabbani (the injured one who was helping out Sonu) could have died today if some iron rods were lying down. He was pushed in such a way, as you could see in the video. Even I was about to fall,”. He further informed that he has lodged a complaint as he felt that there should be consequences for such unruly behaviour. ” I filed a complaint so that people should think about forcefully taking selfies & causing scuffle,”.
