Singer Sonu Nigam was attacked by Janab Uddhav Thackeray MLA Prakash Phaterpekar and his goons at a music event in Chembur, Mumbai. A video of the incident has been doing the rounds on social media.
During
a
music
event
in
Mumbai's
Chembur
suburb,
Sonu
Nigam
and
his
team
were
manhandled
by
a
member
of
Uddhav
Thackeray's
Shiv
Sena
party.
The
incident
took
place
when
the
local
MLA,
believed
to
be
associated
with
the
party,
misbehaved
with
Nigam's
manager
Saira.
The
MLA's
son
wanted
to
take
a
photo
with
Sonu
and,
as
a
result,
they
ended
up
on
stage.
However,
the
man
then
asked
Sonu's
manager
to
leave
the
stage,
and
when
Sonu
was
getting
down
from
the
stage,
the
man
pushed
him
onto
the
backstage
steps.

&
TEAM
GETTING
ATTACKED
AT
CONCERT
According
to
witnesses,
Sonu's
bodyguard
intervened
and
shielded
the
singer
from
the
assailant.
The
bodyguard
took
the
push
from
the
man
and
fell
off
the
stairs,
and
the
assailant
tried
to
grab
Sonu
again.
To
protect
Sonu,
Rabbani
Khan,
Sonu's
friend
and
singer
and
the
son
of
Sonu's
mentor
and
guru
Ustad
Ghulam
Mustafa
Khan,
tried
to
stop
the
assailant.
The
aggressor
pushed
Rabbani,
who
also
fell
seven
feet
off
the
stairs
and
onto
the
ground.

SONU
NIGAM
HASN'T
FILED
ANY
COMPLAINT
AFTER
GETTING
ATTACKED
Fortunately,
Sonu
did
not
sustain
any
injuries,
but
Rabbani
and
the
bodyguard
were
taken
to
the
hospital
for
an
X-ray
to
determine
if
they
had
sustained
any
fractures,
according
to
an
ETimes
report.
The
incident
has
caused
outrage
among
Sonu's
fans
and
the
music
industry.
Many
have
condemned
the
behavior
of
the
MLA
and
his
associates,
and
some
have
demanded
that
the
party
take
action
against
those
responsible.
So
far,
the
Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho
singer
hasn't
yet
filed
any
complaint
in
the
matter.
For
the
unversed,
the
incident
took
place
when
Sonu
Nigam
was
performing
at
the
finale
of
a
four-day-long
festival.
It's
being
said
that
the
event
was
a
famous
cultural
festival
where
some
other
well-known
names
from
the
singing
industry
too
have
performed
in
the
past.
