WWE Superstar The Great Khali and his bodyguard were involved in a shooting at the home of an Indian politician Friday, according to the Aaj Tak news channel in India and Slam Wrestling. Khali was invited to the home of the politician as his grandson is a big fan.
Fans gathered outside of the home waiting for Khali. Children approached for Khali when he arrived to get photos and autographs but according to eyewitnesses, including the politician’s relatives, Khali’s bodyguard was hostile from the start, shoving children as they approached Khali. His bodyguard then allegedly grabbed a boy and beat him down. People tried to get the boy from Khali’s bodyguard and that’s when he started shooting into the crowd. Three people were seriously wounded in the incident.
Khali reportedly fled the scene but last word was that no charges have been filed and the Ludhiana police are being quiet on the matter.
Khali has been in India filming the reality show Big Boss and was set to return to WWE soon.
