Singer Sonu Nigam was forced to pause his concert at the Delhi Technological University’s (DTU) Engifest 2025 on Sunday after a group of unruly students allegedly threw stones and bottles at the stage.
Halting the show midway, he urged students to refrain from such action.
According to reports, nearly one lakh (100,000) students attended the concert.
Sonu Nigam told students as quoted by Hindustan Times: “Main aapke liye aaya hun yahan pe (I came here for you people) so that we can all have a good time. I’m not asking you to not enjoy, but please aisa na kariye (don’t do this).”
He said his team members were getting injured due to the unruly act.
Students express disappointment
Several students expressed disappointment about the chaos caused during the concert.
Geetika, a student from Daulat Ram College, told Hindustan Times, “It was shameful to see that just because of a few unruly students, a legend like him had to pause and request the audience to behave.”
Abhishek Ratra from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University told the newspaper, “Even in that moment, he remained humble and composed. Not once did he raise his voice.”
Sonu Nigam resumed his performance after the situation was settled.
Several videos of the concert have now gone viral.
In one of the videos, a head band could be seen thrown towards Sonu Nigam.
