The singer posted a picture of himself wearing the "Pookie band" and accompanied it with a detailed note in the caption.
He wrote, “Nothing like hurling of stones or bottles as mentioned in some media happened at DTU. There was one Vape thrown by someone on stage that hit Subhankar's chest and that's when I was informed about it. I paused the show and requested and reminded the collegians that the show will have to be abruptly stopped if something like that happened again”.
“The only thing hurled on stage after that was the Pookie band. Which was really Pookie”, he added.
