Akshay Kumar's bodyguard slaps a doctor

MUMBAI: Actor Akshay Kumar's bodyguard slapped a dentist after he tried to come close to the actor during a film shoot outside a residential building in Malad (west) around 11.50am. The doctor then called the police control room, who took both of them to the police station.

The doctor, 33-year-old Shailesh Sharma, came from Delhi and was staying with his relative at Evershine Grandeur building in Mumbai. He was going to a temple when he saw a film shooting going on and Akshay waiting near his vehicle.

Sharma tried to see Akshay from close and walked close to the vehicle, when suddenly the bodyguard pushed and abused him. Sharma questioned the bodyguard for his rude behaviour. This infuriated the bodyguard who then slapped the doctor. Sharma called his relative for help and they informed the police control room. Sharma's relative alleged that there was no permission for shooting.

There was argument between both the parties after which Akshay left the premises. Sharma is at Bangunar police station. The police are completing medical formalities after which they will decide if they can register a case against the bodyguard or record a complaint in the incident.
