This is the second incident in a month. Earlier, Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam was also attacked by the son of Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena MLA, who wanted to take a selfie. Mumbai Police has booked a man for voluntarily causing hurt, wrongful restraint and other charges in connection with the incident of scuffle during the live concert of singer Sonu Nigam in Chembur area.
Sharing his experience, the veteran singer told TOI, “I am fine, but my brother (friend Rabbani Khan) is hurt. And my bodyguard is hurt.” Sonu Nigam’s team did not recognize Swapnil and this led to Swapnil and his supporters scuffling with Nigam and his team while the singer was leaving the stage.
