Television actor Anuj Sachdeva faced a surprising attack in Mumbai by a man from his own residential complex earlier this week. The actor has now taken to Instagram to share a video on how he continues to feel "unsafe".
What's Happening
- Anuj Sachdeva expressed his disappointment, stating that the attacker has still not been arrested.
- He said, "Mujhe sir mein chot lagi hai aur taang mein bhi injury hui hai. Lekin main yeh share karna chahta hoon ki jo actual reason hai. Main apne dog ko walk par le jaane ke liye bahar nikla tha. Society mein ek gaadi galat tarike se park ki gayi thi, jiske baare mein maine owners' group mein inform kiya aur ek photograph bhi kheench li, yeh kehne ke liye ki 'Yeh gaadi ko sahi jagah park karein' (I have suffered an injury to my head and also hurt my leg. But I want to share what the actual reason was. I had stepped out to take my dog for a walk. A car was parked incorrectly in the society, so I informed the owners' group about it and also took a photograph to say, 'Please park this vehicle properly')."
- He continued that the attacker, now identified as Pradeep Singh, started abusing him and giving life threats before the situation turned violent. He added that the attacker then took a stick and started repeatedly hitting him on the head.
- "Aap jab akele hote hai, tab retaliate kar sakte hai. Maine FIR likhwayi hai, aur mujhe Mumbai Police pe poora bharosa hai aur judicial pe bharosa hai ki woh humara saath degi. Abhi tak arrest nahi hua hai, jo ki hona chaiye. Lekin, I am still hoping that eventually the culprit will be punished. I still feel very unsafe because of him being around in society (When you are alone, you can retaliate. I have filed an FIR, and I have complete faith in the Mumbai Police and the judiciary that they will support us. The arrest has still not happened, which should have happened by now. But I am still hoping that eventually the culprit will be punished. I continue to feel very unsafe with him still around in society)," concluded Anuj.
- He thanked the media and his well-wishers for being by his side and spreading his video during this difficult time.
