Sonu Nigam’s recent concert did not go exactly as planned as the singer was attacked on the night of February 20 during a concert in Mumbai’s Chembur area. The concert turned into a nightmare for him and his fans as an MLA’s son Swapnil Prakash Phaterpekar attacked Nigam and his team for a selfie.
While many images and videos from the concert have been going viral on social media, a new video has surfaced and it featured Sonu wanting to go back and confront the attacker instead of slipping away.

Now a source close to the development has said, "Most celebrities don’t want to get involved in something unpleasant like this and leave it to their teams to tackle the situation. It was very heartening to see Sonu stand up for his team and confront the men in question. He even took his team members to the hospital and waited to complete the required police procedures. It's a rare thing to see these days."
The alleged incident conspired at the Chembur Gymkhana on Monday night as Phatarpekar allegedly pushed two of the singer’s friends from the staircase of the stage where Nigam was performing during a music festival at Mumbai’s Chembur area.
Khan sustained an injury on his shoulder and was immediately rushed to the hospital. Following the incident, Nigam along with a few friends visited the police station around 1:30 am on Tuesday and registered a complaint about the incident.
