Cuttack: Ollywood singer Humane Sagar has landed up in a controversy after lyricist Pramod Parida alleged that a murder attempt on him was made by the former\u2019s manager and his associate in Badambadi area of Odisha\u2019s Cuttack district today.<\/p>\n
Parida has alleged that he suffered serious injuries in his head after the playback singer\u2019s manager and his accomplice abducted and assaulted him in the latter\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
As per his complaint with Badambadi police, Sagar\u2019s manager Dinesh Behera alias Papu and his associate reached Parida\u2019s house in Palamandap in Badambadi locality on Tuesday afternoon. Before Parida could react, Papu threatened him at gunpoint and started abusing him. Accusing Parida of defaming Sagar on social media, Papu dragged him out of his house and took him on a two-wheeler to a house near Sunshine field where a group of around seven to eight youths tied up the lyricist\u2019s hands and feet and thrashed him mercilessly. Papu even went ahead and reportedly hit Parida\u2019s head with an iron rod after which the letter fell unconscious.<\/p>\n
After he regained consciousness, he found himself naked with his gold chain and watch missing. Parida further alleged that the youths had made a video of the entire episode and given him a death threat if he ever wrote anything against Sagar on social media. \u201cHumane Sagar\u2019s manager Papu and another goon reached my place at around 2 pm. They put a gun on my head and threatened me, accusing me of writing derogatory remarks about the singer on social media. They then blindfolded me and took me to a place which I later found was Sagar\u2019s office. I was subjected to torture for around three to four hours there. The place had sharp weapons and looked like a terrorist camp, not an office of a playback singer,\u201d he told mediapersons.<\/p>\n
When asked about the presence of Humane Sagar in the office, Parida said he was not there but the goons and his manager told him that the abduction and assault was carried out on the singer\u2019s instructions and in his knowledge. \u201cThere has recently been a change in Humane Sagar\u2019s behaviour towards everyone. He seems disinterested in singing and is getting involved in unneccesary conflicts with everyone. I had no enmity with him. In fact, right from the start of his professional journey, we have worked together. The post he is referring to was a general one. My social media account is open to public where I write about issues affecting the music industry. It takes around six months for a song to be completed and I had raised concern about dearth of singers. Does that mean he is the only singer? From whatever interactions I have had with him, Sagar seems oriented more towards hooliganism,\u201d Parida said.<\/p>\n
