MUMBAI: A 28-year-old man was arrested after he stopped actor Ajay Devgn’s car at Goregaon (East) on Tuesday morning. The man was urging Devgn to support the ongoing farmers’ protest. The accused, Rajdeep Singh, is a driver by profession.
Devgn was headed towards FilmCity when Singh, who was travelling in an auto, spotted his car. He then hopped out of the auto and stood in front of the actor’s vehicle, blocking his way.
“There was a traffic jam in the area and Devgn’s vehicle was moving slowly, ” said a police officer. Singh asked the actor to step down and talk to him and also urged him to support the farmers’ protest.
Devgn's bodyguards tried to move Singh away which led to a scuffle. Singh also allegedly used expletives when the matter was reported to the local police station. Witnesses filmed the incident and the video clip went viral on Twitter.
Singh can be heard addressing the actor in Punjabi. The Dindoshi police arrested Singh on charges of “intimidation”.
