The reason for the unfortunate circumstances happened yesterday is 100% from organiser side! But he took the responsibility and accountable (sic).” It added, “Think before you speak!.”

Meanwhile, the singer took to Instagram and penned an apology. He asked his fans who bought the tickets but couldn’t enter to send him a copy of their tickets so that they could be refunded.
