Singer Sonu Nigam was attacked by a Shiv Sena member in a music concert at Chembur in Mumbai. While the singer was performing at the event, the Shiv Sena member barged on to the stage to click a selfie with Sonu Nigam and misbehaved with the singer's manager.

While the singer was getting off stage, a Shiv sena member pushed him. But Sonu’s bodyguard came in the middle and acted as a barrier between the singer and assailant. The bodyguard got pushed and fell off the stairs. Again, the assailant tried to grab the singer.

The singer did not sustain any injuries, but his bodyguard and friend Rabbani was taken to Zen hospital for check-up. The video of the backstage mishap went viral on social media.
