But Aamir managed to hoodwink the media and his fans again by travelling in a Volvo bus which was heavily curtained. His Mercedes followed the bus. When the media objected to the security men about stopping them from using a public road, they started pushing male and female reporters (including this After Hours journalist). Two reporters from Mumbai-based publications were injured while the camera of an India TV reporter was broken.
Actor Ronit Roy, who heads Ace Securities which is guarding the venue, came out and instead of apologising, kept demanding, "Were you personally attacked?" Soon after, all the security men were bundled out of the venue in a van. The reporters later lodged a complaint against Ronit Roy and Aamir Khan and also demanded an apology.
While Aamir seemed hardly concerned about the media, Suresh Pawar, Dy SP, Panchgani, promised to take action. Deputy Chief Minister RR Patil also called the local police after the situation at Panchgani was beamed on TV and asked them to sort out the matter immediately.
Later in the evening, Ronit Roy did apologise for the incident and reportedly sacked the two securitymen in question.
