Indore, October 25: Fans of Bollywood star Salman Khan today resorted to violence by throwing chairs at Nehru Stadium after he did not play a cricket show-match organised to promote one of his films to be released shortly, police said.
Police used mild cane-charge to chase a huge number of fans of the Bollywood celebrity out of the stadium which also resulted in a stampede, they said.
The Bollywood star reached five hours late to the match venue to a standing ovation, but he didn’t play the match organised by a social organisation – Shimla Club, Indore, the birth place of the cinema star, police said.
Minutes after waving to his fans, he left the stadium.
Angry at this, Khan’s fans, who waited for hours, indulged in violence by tossing and broking chairs, they said.
