Press Trust Of India

Mumbai: A group of about 15-20 unidentified persons on Monday attacked the residence of Bhojpuri singer actor Manoj Tiwari in suburban Mumbai.

Tiwari's spokesman Shashikant Singh said the mob came at Tiwari's bungalow around 2100 hrs IST at MHADA in the Four Bungalows area and told his staff that they wanted to meet the actor.

"When they were told that Tiwari was out of town, they started pelting stones. They demanded that the Bhojpuri actor shift out of Mumbai to his native place," Singh said.

They also said Tiwari had made a statement against Shiv Sena while commenting over Sena supremo Bal Thackeray's comments on Sachin Tendulkar, he claimed.

Singh said Tiwari has denied reacting on the Thackeray-Tendulkar issue.

A complaint has been lodged with the Versova Police, he said.

Police confirmed the incident but said it was not yet known who were behind the incident.
