According to media outlets, the Bhojpuri singer was asked to sing a particular song, that is allegedly about a particular caste. Upon refusing to sing the song, an anonymous group of individuals in the crowd threw rocks at the artiste.

Fortunately, due to the presence of adequate law enforcement officers at the programme, the situation was quickly taken under control.
