Singer Sonu Nigam attacked over selfies at Mumbai event

Singer Sonu Nigam was allegedly attacked on Monday night during a brawl over selfies.

In a similar fashion to how cricketer Prithvi Shaw was attacked last week, Nigam was manhandled at an event in Mumbai by a group of enraged fans after the singer refused selfies.

The incident took place around 11 pm when Nigam was in suburban Chembur to attend a music festival. He then filed a complaint at the Chembur police station.

While leaving the venue, a group of fans approached the singer for a selfie when his two colleagues intervened, he said.

Both colleagues of Nigam were manhandled by the fans, leading to one of them receiving minor injuries, said the official.

A video of the incident later surfaced on social media platforms.

Later in the night, Nigam spoke to the media and said "my friend would have died, he was trying to help me."
