Notably, fight didn’t come to the notice of police present there when it was going on, as it was taken place on ground at some distance from the show. Police learnt about it when other students raised an alarm. However, the attackers fled taking advantage of the crowd before the police arrived at the spot.
Singer Masoom Sharma has been in controversies for the past several days. Many of his songs have been removed from YouTube on the orders of Haryana govt. The songs have been removed alleging that they promote gun culture and violence.
