Recently, Renowned Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam and his team were manhandled by a Shiv Sena member at a music event in Mumbai’s Chembur suburb.
The singer was performing live at the festival when a local MLA, who is said to be associated with Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena party misbehaved with Nigam’s manager Saira.
The MLA’s son wanted to take a picture with Sonu and that’s why they ended up going on stage. The man then asked Sonu’s manager to get off the stage and when Sonu was getting down from the stage, the man ended up pushing Sonu on the backstage steps.

Sonu Nigam should hire MMA fighters as bodyguards.

Reportedly, Sonu’s bodyguard acted as a barrier between the assailant and the singer. The bodyguard took the push from the man, and he fell off the stairs and onto the ground below. After that, the man lost his temper and tried to grab Sonu.
MLA should be arrested immediately @Dev_Fadnavis

Again, to save Sonu his friend and singer Rabbani Khan tried to stop the assailant. A moment after, the aggressor pushed Rabbani and he too fell seven feet off the stairs and onto the ground below. Fortunately, Sonu didn’t sustain any severe injury, but the two men who tried to save him have been injured.

Rabbani Khan is the son of Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan, Sonu Nigam’s mentor, and guru, who passed away in 2021.
After the horrific incident, Sonu took his bodyguard and Rabbani Khan to the hospital. The two men were getting an X-Ray to determine if they had sustained any fractures. Media persons reached out to Sonu who confirmed the development, but he wasn’t in a position to talk.
