“I had to press the brakes of my car when out of nowhere a bus came to a halt in front of me. The sudden jerk caused my camera to fall off the seat and I bent down to pick it up.It was hardly a few seconds, but a few men in the car behind me started honking. They overtook me and almost rammed into my car in doing that,” he narrates, adding, “Soon I overtook them and that must have infuriated them. They suddenly stopped their car in front of mine with another vehicle on my left. They rolled down their windows and started hurling abuses at me. Around 15 men came out of the two cars with shafts in their hands. They asked me to step out and started banging my car. They punched me in my face, hit me with shafts on my back, hands and stomach. The ordeal lasted for around 10 minutes. There were people around me, but no one came to my rescue. Suddenly, I saw one of them raising the shaft to hit me on my head. That would have been the end of it, but a man from the crowd finally intervened and pushed them back.”
The actor called his parents and filed a police complaint against the hooligans. “They zoomed past and I could only note down the last four digits from their number plate. They kept threatening me saying that they are affiliated to a political party,” says the actor.
