Sanjay Dutt, who is currently shooting for Omung Kumar’ film,’Bhoomi’, has landed himself in legal trouble, yet again. The actor was shooting a scene near the Taj Mahal and to make sure it wrapped up smoothly, the adjacent VIP road was allegedly blocked from public use. This caused a lot of inconvenience to the tourists who were there to visit the historic monument and things started getting chaotic.

This attracted the attention of the media but as soon as they reached the spot to cover the incident, Sanjay Dutt ordered his guards to ask them to leave and even use force if they resist. Soon, all hell broke loose when the guards got into a physical fight with the reporters and in this process; five of the reporters got grievously injured. Some of the reporters even managed to capture the fight on camera:




When things started getting too serious, Dutt decided to take control over the situation and apologised to the reporters.



However, some reporters lodged a complaint against Dutt in the Tajganj police station. One of the reporters, Ajay Kumar said he was there to cover the incident but Sanjay’s guards attacked him for no reason, causing him serious injury on his chest and his head.

Here’s a copy of the complaint:
