Priyank Sharma says he was attacked by a man at a hospital in Ghaziabad on July 30. The actor has filed a police complaint and the matter is under investigation. He tells us, “I was visiting a doctor for my mother’s check-up. My father was with us, too.” After the check-up, Priyank says they were exiting the premises, when “suddenly out of nowhere, this man attacked me and started hitting me. I managed to hold his hand and push him back. There was a lot of commotion. Two men from the hospital administration came to my rescue and I am really grateful to them. The guy who tried to attack me ran away. It was a scary situation.”
Priyank, who filed a complaint at the Kaushambi police station, adds, “We tried contacting the hospital later for the CCTV footage to submit it to the police, but the hospital’s security did not give it to us. The case is filed under Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code.”
He says he was lucky to get away with a few bruises, but is still wondering why he was attacked. “I will be fine soon, but I have no idea who the person was and what he wanted from me,” says the actor, who became a popular face after he participated in Bigg Boss 11 four years ago.
On the work front, Priyank has been focussing on web shows. In the past, he has participated in reality shows like Roadies Rising, Splitsvilla 10 apart from Bigg Boss 11.
