Akil Malik, 24, took offence at Khan’s cutaway outfit as she
presented the grand finale of singing competition Raw Star at Film City in
Goregaon, Mumbai. He then got up out of his seat to threaten and assault her
live on air.
Being a Muslim woman, she should not have worn such a short
dress,” the Mumbai police quoted Malik as saying by way of explanation.
Though quite how he managed to breach tight security and
make it to the stage to commit the offence remains to be clarified.
Despite the 2,500-strong people in the audience, and 250
guards present in the studio, he was still able to break the cordon and
confront Khan as she was being escorted out of the venue.
According to Indian reports, Khan was left shaken by the
incident, but returned to the set an hour later to continue filming.
Malik is expected to appear in Boriwali Court today.
