Actor and well known Radio Jockey Pritam Singh recently bore the brunt of going to rescue a woman, not that he regrets his actions. Pritam Singh was beaten up with sticks and his car pelted with stones by hooligans whom he confronted for harassing a woman. An upset Pritam lodged a complaint against the accused and also shared his ordeal on social media. The incident in question happened on the early hours of Sunday (which also was ironically Women's Day) when Pritam and wife Amanjyot were driving through Bangur Nagar when they saw four men harassing a woman and her male companion. When Pritam stopped and intervened, the men beat him up and also pelted stones at his car. As per Pritam's statement, there were other bystanders present at the time of the incident, but none came to their rescue. Bigg Boss 12: Manu Punjabi and Pritam Singh Create a Storm by Suggesting Inmates to Send Karanvir Bohra to Kaal Kothri – Watch Video.

The victim told Mirror that she had gone to a tea stall in the area with a male companion, when she was harassed by the four men who appeared to be drunk and when her friend called them out, they started beating him. By then Pritam, who had stopped his car and asked the woman to sit in his car with his wife Amanjyot, was also attacked and stones were pelted.

He Also Sustained Injuries on His Head:

"I was so scared thinking of the worst possible scenarios. Singh was god-sent; he took me away from the men and made me sit in his car,” she told. The victim also added that while the people present there simply watched them get assaulted and nobody came to help them, more people had apparently joined the goons in beating up Singh and her friend.

Recalling the incident, Pritam told Mirror, "I stepped in because my wife wanted me to save the woman. However, the incident has badly affected her health as she had to be hospitalised on account of low blood pressure." Singh lodged a complaint at the Bangur Nagar police station and a few arrests have also been made in connection with the case.
