Police and other security personnel rushed to the spot and arrested Kumar and booked him for attempt to assault. His driving license was also cancelled for being in an inebriated state while on duty. Arjun took to Twitter to deny the incident of saying he doesn’t have any clue of such happening. The ‘Ishaqzaade’ actor admitted there was a disturbance off camera but the local force ensured it didn’t reach him. He said his entire family was in panic this morning because of the news report.

How come I have no clue about this happening ? The crowd here has been peaceful. There might have been a disturbance off camera but the local force has never let it reach till me. My entire family was in panic this morning so using words like assault isn’t cool just for effect. https://t.co/Qd8yFWWUd2 — Arjun Kapoor (@arjunk26) December 7, 2017
