“I was in a cafe for dinner at 2am. I was alone and they were eight to nine boys and girls. They started making my videos, I objected and asked how would they react if I did the same,” he said.
“This started the arguments and after that they asked me to come outside. When I walked out of the cafe. There were 10 to 12 security guards,” he said.
