Seasoned singer Sonu Nigam who mesmerized music listeners with his sweet voice for the past two and half years was attacked in a music festival. While he was coming down the stage, Sonu Nigam was clamored by fans for selfies. This happened at 11 PM in Chembur and the singer was taken to the hospital to get treated for minor injuries.
Speaking to the reporters, Sonu Nigam said, “I fell on the steps after I was pushed. Rabbani (Khan) came to save me and was pushed from behind. He could have died. I filed a complaint because people must think about it when they force someone to take a selfie.”
Senior police officer Hemraj Singh Rajput stated, “The incident occurred when Sonu Nigam was leaving the stage after his live performance at the Chembur festival. He was stopped from behind by someone. When two people accompanying the singer tried to move him aside, the man pushed them down the steps. This led to one of them sustaining injuries.”
Apparently, Sonu Nigam filed the complaint of Swapnil Phaterpekar who is the son of MLA Prakash Phaterpekar. However, the police denied political involvement in this case. He said, “According to the conversation I had with Mr Nigam, nothing seemed intentional. It was spontaneous and done by only one person. The volunteers present there handled the situation. The intention behind the act may be to take a photograph or for media footage. Police will investigate this.”
