Complaint against actor Arjun Rampal for ‘assaulting’ man
NEW DELHI: A Delhi man filed a complaint against Arjun Rampal on Sunday morning, accusing the Hindi film actor of injuring him with a camera on the dance floor of a five-star hotel, police said.
No FIR has been registered as police sought some clarifications on the medical report of victim Shobhit, a resident of Shalimar Bagh in northwest Delhi.
Shobhit suffered a head injury when Rampal, while playing the DJ, snatched a photographer’s camera flash and threw it towards the dance floor, the complaint filed with the Connaught Place police station reads.
“Shobhit suffered an injury to his head and started bleeding. He then called the PCR around 4am and informed us about the incident,” a police officer said.
A police team took Shobhit to a nearby government hospital, which discharged him after primary medical care.
The incident occurred when a photographer started taking pictures when he saw the actor, said the officer.
Constant camera flashes upset Rampal, who allegedly snatched the camera and hurled the flash towards the dance floor, the officer said, quoting the complaint.
The 44-year-old Rampal, who is based in Mumbai, left the central Delhi hotel after the incident.
Rampal was entertaining the guests by “throwing various items towards them”, New Delhi deputy commissioner of police (New Delhi) BK Singh said.
“The actor also hurled a camera flash and it unfortunately hit one of the guests,” Singh said.
Shobhit’s medical examination report said he had a lacerated wound.
“We have requested the doctors to clarify if the wound comes under the grievous category.
wTheir final opinion is awaited,” he said.
