MUMBAI:
Around 25 men in Mumbai attacked the set of Zee Marathi's
flagship reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa on 26 February,
reports Zee Marathi. The shooting for the episodes was going
on at the time of the mishap.
The
show has started airing from 25 February.
The
reason, as reported by the channel, was that few audiences
who were thrown out of the set for creating nuisance during
the shoot, got their violent supporters to attack the set.
"Some
people were continuously chatting and disturbing the shooting.
After repeated requests, we asked them to leave; they got
angry and came back to ruin the sets," said Zee Marathi
business head Ajay Bhalwankar. "Thankfully, no one suffered
any injury."
Inside
the studio, anchor Pallavi Joshi, judges Dr Saleel Kulkarni,
classical singer Asha Khadilkar and celebrity judge and violinist
Prabhakar Jog were present along with contestants (all 40
years plus season) and audience.
The
mob attacked the studio, smashed many cars in the campus,
assaulted the studio and unit staff. Reportedly, the accused
also broke the furniture in the studio's reception area.
Police
have registered a case of rioting and arrested three men.
