Hero composer Amaal Mallik beaten up by cops at Umang 2016

Amaal Mallik, who shot to fame with his hit compositions in Roy and Hero, had a nasty episode with a senior officer of the Mumbai Police at the Umang 2016 show on Tuesday night. The young composer got into an argument with the cops and was eventually roughed up by them. So what happened exactly?

Amaal was already at the Umang show when his parents turned up at the event. The composer-singer stepped outside to usher them to the ground.


When Amaal was leading them in through the VIP gate, he was told by a cop (dressed in civil clothes) that this particular entrance was only for VIPs. The cop asked them to use the regular entrance instead.

This did not go down well with Amaal. Unaware that the man in civil clothes was actually a senior officer of the Mumbai Police, he started abusing him with the choicest of expletives.

The senior officer wouldn't take this lying down. Infuriated at Amaal's behaviour, he and a constable present at the scene started beating up the composer-singer.

Of course, word of the drama outside reached the stars present at the event. As soon as Amaal's uncle, Anu Malik heard of it, he rushed to the gate and apologised to the cop on behalf of the young composer. Fortunately, the officer accepted the apology and let go of Amaal.
