Singer Sonu Nigam has filed a complaint against those who manhandled him after his concert in Chembur on Monday night. The singer was performing at the Chembur fest organised by a Sena worker. After his performance, a man identified as Swapnil Phaterpekar, who is the son of a local MLA, heckled the singer for a selfie.
Following the incident, Singer Sonu Nigam reached Chembur police station and lodged a complaint. “I fell on the steps after I was pushed. Rabbani (Khan) came to save me and was pushed from behind. He could have been injured very badly. I filed a complaint because people must think about it when they force someone to take a selfie,” said Nigam, who looked visibly traumatized from the incident.
A case has been registered under IPC sections 323 (Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 341 (wrongful restraint), and 337 (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) on the basis of singer Sonu Nigam’s complaint.
