Actor Ajay Devgn's office has issued a statement clarifying that a video being circulated of a man involved in a Delhi brawl is not him. The video shows two men fighting outside a pub, using unparliamentary language, which went viral on Friday. One of the men, wearing a white shirt, has been mistaken for Ajay. A large number of men and women are seen screaming at each other and created a case of road rage.
Among the brawlers, there was a man in a white shirt, whom many assumed to be Ajay Devgn, which his team has refuted and said that Ajay hasn't visited Delhi-NCR in the last 14 months.
The statement issued by the actor’s spokesperson reads: "Post the promotion of 'Tanhaji-The Unsung Warrior' in January 2020, Ajay Devgn has not visited Delhi. So media reports of a brawl involving the superstar outside a Delhi pub are baseless and untrue. We request news agencies and media picking this up to please note that Mr Devgn has been in Mumbai the entire time shooting for 'Maidaan', 'MayDay' and 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' and he hasn't set foot in the Capital in 14 months. Request all media to please cross-check before putting out anything."
The police informed that the brawl triggered when the two men left a restaurant after dinner, and one’s vehicle accidentally hit another’s in the parking lot. “This sparked an argument between them, during which Singh threw water on Kumar. Both of them exchanged abuses and started fighting. Locals and the mall staff intervened. A passerby then informed the police control room about the matter,” said a senior police officer.
Around 15-20 men are seen abusing, punching and physically assaulting each other in the video. Witnesses told the police that most of the people involved in the brawl were visibly drunk and it also shows two women engaging in a fight, even as private security guards of the mall and the hotels nearby try to pacify them.
Ajay has been keeping busy on multiple projects currently, such as Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR and Maidaan. Rohit Shetty's Sooryavanshi will have Ajay Devgan in a special appearance.
