Singer Sonu Nigam allegedly manhandled at music event in Mumbai

Singer Sonu Nigam and his team were allegedly manhandled at a music event in Chembur on Monday night. Nigam and his team left the spot soon after the incident. He then filed a complaint at the Chembur police station. An official said that based on a preliminary enquiry, the incident took place when a local politician’s son wanted to take a selfie with the singer. Sonu Nigam was in Chembur to attend an 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. In a video of the incident, which is viral, one person is seen falling from the stairs leading up to the stage.

"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. Meanwhile, Sonu Nigam's team has claimed that Phaterpekar's son misbehaved with the singer's manager and asked them to leave the stage.
