The incident happened during a live performance in Itanagar on October 27.

In his apology, Kon Waii Son, whose full name is Konyo Waii Sonam, took full responsibility of the act and said that no one was involved in the act except him. He said: "Taking a moment to reflect and apologize for my actions during the recent event. What happened on stage was unplanned and solely my responsibility, with no involvement or awareness from the incredible organising and management teams. I never intended to promote any harm and deeply regret any discomfort caused. Learning from this and moving forward with respect and gratitude for everyone involved."

He said the "impulsive" act was done in the "heat of the moment". "My intent was never to promote or condone animal cruelty," Kon Waii Son said. In a video message, the singer acknowledged that the act was "cruel" and it was "wrong". He said every artiste has two sides — one which is a person and another, which is hyped on stage and is a performer.
