"Nothing like the 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," read the statement.
"I paused the show and requested, reminding the collegians that the show would 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..." it further read.
