One of them was armed. The incident took place late night on March 26.

“The 4-5 unknown men started misbehaving and disrupted the show. They started showing beer at the crowd and pushed the artists on the stage. After that, a person in a check shirt caught my hand and started to pull me to the front. I was trying to avoid it but the person kept on challenging and threatening me. I also observed that he was armed. Another person in a red shirt was making a video and said, ‘Bhaga diya Honey Singh ko’. (sic),” a part of the FIR read.

Singh’s lawyer, Ishaan Mukherjee, had filed a complaint of “nuisance, misbehaviour and threat” on behalf of the singer-rapper on March 28, after which the police registered the FIR. A case has been registered under sections of voluntarily causing hurt, wrongful restraint, criminal intimidation and others.
