After the entire incident, Sonu Nigam spoke to reporters and he explained what had transpired.
"Aap logon ka jo selfie aur photograph ka jo chala hua hai na, koi samajhta nahi hai," he told reporters.
“After the concert, I was coming down from the stage when a man held me. Then he pushed Hari and Rabbani who came to save me. Then I fell on the steps. If I would have been on the side, I would have fallen too. Rabbani could have died today if there were some iron rods lying on the ground," he added.
