Saif Ali Khan Brawl with Journalists in Patiala

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan on Sunday night found himself in trouble
after a tiff with photo journalists here during the shoot of a film,
leading to the registration of a case against him by the police on
charges of threatening to kill and assault.

Some photo journalists were trying to click photographs of Saif at the
railway station where the shooting of an unnamed picture was on.

The two photo journalists--one belonging to a newspaper and the other
to local TV news channel--were trying to take shots of the shooting of
the movie when Saif objected to this.

The security staff of Saif allegedly reacted and took away the cameras
of the photo journalists.

The actor lodged a complaint against them with the railway police
station of Patiala.

Several mediapersons assembled on the Mall Road on Sunday night and
demanded action against Saif.

Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, who is town for for a function,
sent his political colleagues Prem Singh Chandumajra of Shiromani
Akali Dal and Raj Khurana of BJP to pacify the journalists. The
journalists later withdrew their protest.

Later, both the journalists lodged a complaint against Saif and his
security guards on the charge of manhandling them.

Railway police registered a case against Saif under sections 506
(threatening to kill), 341 (assaulting), 536c (cause of damage) of
IPC, said IG, GRP, G S Grewal.

Investigations were on in connection with the complaint of the
photographers, police said
