“That man was trying to come on stage again and again and then he started fighting with everyone backstage. He was known to the local promoter Surinder Sanghera who sent him away during the show.
“But at the end when Guru finished the show and was leaving the stage, that Punjabi man came and hit him hard on his face with a punch.

Fellow Punjabi singer Preet Harpal expressed his shock over the attack. He uploaded a post in Punjabi which translates to:
“I’ve known Guru for a long time. He is a very genuine person and always respects others. But this is a very bad thing. I don’t know what is happening to society.”
