Sonu Nigam said, ‘As soon as I was coming down from the stage after the concert, I was asked for a selfie. When I refused, he caught hold of me. Then he pushed Hari and Rabbani who had come to save me. I fell on the stairs. Later it was revealed that he is Swapnil Faterpekar, son of MLA Prakash Faterpekar. I have filed a complaint so that people don’t think of forcibly taking selfies and creating scuffles. Had some iron rods been lying there, Rabbani could have died. He was pushed like this.
