Singer Guru Randhawa attacked in Canada, now back in India
Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa, who was recently in Vancouver, Canada for a concert, was attacked by an unidentified person in the city. According to reports, he was punched hard in his face and ended up getting four stitches on his right eyebrow. The news was confirmed by Guru's management team, who shared an Instagram post saying, "Guru's home now, feeling safe in India".
Accused tried climbing on the stage during Guru's performance
The incident happened on July 28 in Vancouver, when a person repeatedly tried to climb on the stage when Guru was performing. While the High Rated Gabru singer asked that person to refrain himself, the latter was persistent. "Then he started fighting with everyone backstage. He was known to the local promoter Surinder Sanghera, who sent him away during the show," read the post.
Right after Guru finished performing, he was attacked
The man in question later attacked Guru soon after he finished his performance. "That Punjabi man hit him hard on his face with a punch, because of which Guru started bleeding on the spot from his forehead above the eyebrow and went back to stage and showed it to the audience," the team added. The attacker and his companions fled the spot thereafter.
Guru is out of danger now, confirms his team

The post also quoted the singer saying that "His Guru Nanak Dev Ji has saved him." "He prayed to Waheguru to give that man a good sense of understanding. Your love and support is all we need always," it concluded.
