The politician's son and nephew allegedly got into a fight with Sonu's security after they used force to try to snap a selfie with the musician.

The concert was held without the presence of Prakash Phaterpekar, who invited Sonu to play at the Chembur festival. Sonu was the final artist on the final day of the festival, which lasted four days.

Some well-known performers have already performed at this cultural festival. According to some allegations, a member of the organizing team interacted improperly with Saira, Sonu's manager. Sonu Nigam hasn't filed a police report as of yet.
