'Tenu suit suit karda' singer, Guru Randhawa in an instagram post said, "I deeply regret the abrupt cancellation of our concert at IIT Delhi today. Due to heavy crowding and stampede, we couldn’t make our way through the stage as per the authorities guidelines." He promised that he would come back soon and perform.
