An officer involved in the preliminary inquiry stated that the exact cause of the fight remains unclear at this stage.
The police are actively verifying the authenticity and details of the viral video. They have emphasized that appropriate legal action will be initiated if a formal complaint is lodged by any party or if the ongoing inquiry reveals evidence of a cognizable offense.

Broader Implications for Event Security
This incident has cast a spotlight on the broader issue of crowd management and safety at public concerts and large gatherings in urban areas like Gurgaon.
