Sonu Nigam: Popular singer Sonu Nigam and members of his team were allegedly manhandled at a music event in Mumbai’s Chembur on Monday night. A video going viral on social media shows a man, allegedly from Sonu’s team, being pushed down the stage.
Following the dramatic events, the singer arrived at the Chembur police station to register a complaint. Sources said the purported video was being verified, and police officials were speaking to Sonu Nigam to find out about the incident.
Scuffle for selfie
Reports said Sonu Nigam was in Chembur to attend a musical event organised by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Prakash Phaterpekar. While he was walking down the stage, some people allegedly rushed in to take selfies with the singer.
“Sonu Nigam was getting down from the stage when some people rushed to take a selfie. During that time, bodyguards were trying to push those people away, but by mistake, one person from Sonu Nigam’s team was pushed by mistake. Nothing has happened to Sonu Nigam,” Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Prakash Phaterpekar said.
On the other side, Sonu Nigam’s team claimed that Phaterpekar’s son misbehaved with the singer’s manager and asked them to leave the stage.
Sonu’s friend injured
“When Sonu Nigam was coming down from the stage after performing, the MLA’s son first pushed Sonu Nigam’s bodyguard Hari and then pushed Sonu. Rabbani Khan, son of Sonu Nigam’s maestro, was also present at this event. He fell down from the stage in the scuffle. He suffered many injuries and was immediately taken to Zen Hospital in Chembur. Sonu Nigam is shaken by this whole incident. He has not suffered any kind of injury. Rabbani’s treatment is going on,” they said.
According to reports, some eyewitnesses said that Sonu Nigam’s bodyguard put his own body between the man and the singer and in the process, he took the push and fell off the stairs. After this, the aggressive man tried to grab Sonu but his friend and singer Rabbani Khan came in between and tried to stop the man. In the scuffle, Rabbani, who is the son of Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan, fell seven feet off the stairs and onto the ground below.
