Mumbai police have registered a case against a man for voluntarily causing hurt, wrongful restraint and other charges in connection to a scuffle incident reported during singer Sonu Nigam’s live concert in Chembur area.

And my bodyguard is hurt.” Sonu Nigam’s team did not recognise Swapnil and this led to a scuffle as Swapnil and his supporters manhandled Nigam and his team while the singer was leaving the stage.
