Aditya Narayan’s concert, where he threw a fan’s phone in the crowd, has generated a lot of controversy. After a statement by the event manager and Aditya himself, now, the student, whose phone was thrown away by the singer, has spoken up. In a chat with Times Now Digital, the student said that contrary to the allegation that he was hitting the singer’s foot, it was Aditya Narayan who hit his hand with his mic.

Lovkesh Chandravanshi, who is a third year BSc student at Rungta College, said, “The concert was going on and I was standing in front of the stage. Aditya sir was performing and he was also taking everyone’s phones and clicking selfies for them. I was right by the stage so I also gave my phone to him for the selfie but he hit my hand with his mic and then threw my phone away for no reason. He was taking selfies with everyone so I thought he would take with me too that’s why I gave my phone.”

“People have been saying a lot of things but this is the truth. No one hit him actually, we were just normally giving him our phones for selfies and he was even obliging. Even after throwing my phone he continued giving selfies to everyone. Only he knows what his mood was like,” he shared further. When asked if Lovkesh would be filing a police complaint, he said, “I don’t want to file a police complaint. I will not do that. I am not comfortable and I will not take action. I am also scared.”

Earlier, the event manager, whose name was not disclosed, told Zoom that the student in question was “constantly dragging Aditya’s feet” which “irritated” the singer. Aditya also spoke to the same publication later later and said, “Honestly, no comments. I am answerable to the Almighty. That’s all.”

The video of Aditya Narayan snatching a fan’s phone and throwing it in the crowd went viral a few days ago leading many to question the singer’s behaviour during his live show.
