Speaking to Indian express, Robi revealed, that the incident occurred just before lunch. Recounting the incident, he said “A section of the crowd had been abusing me since the morning. When lunch was announced, I started shouting the names of Najmul Shanto and Mominul Haque. A few people began to shove me, tried to tear my mascot (Tiger) and my flag, and when I resisted, they started hitting me.”

However, police refuted Robi claims, emphasising that he collapsed due to dehydration rather than an assault.
