While Vilasrao Deshmukh, the Chief Minister of the State of Maharashtra, was away to Goa celebrating his birthday, his son Amit and friends held a cricket tournament in Latur, his hometown, to commemorate the event! And who do you think was invited to Latur to be the chief guest? None other than Bollywood spice-girl Priyanka Chopra says Bombay Times.

Priyanka, going to this hot, sun-scorched part of the state on a May afternoon, arrived three hours late! This caused a mini riot in the sleepy town where eager locals lost their patience and ran amuck.

Instead of Happy Birthday ditties, the crowds shouted slogans condemning the star’s very late appearance at the show and became somewhat uncontrollable. The police had to resort to a lathi charge, which enraged the crowd so much, that they threw items of footwear and pelted stones at the police thereby injuring many onlookers and some policemen.

The actress sneaked out from the backdoor with Amit Deshmukh and returned to Mumbai.

The Chief Minister however, dismissed this incident as a ‘mad rush by youngsters who wanted to see Priyanka up close and pushed down the barricades.”

He clarified that no footwear was thrown at Priyanka.

“This happened after she left,” he confirmed from Goa, where he was vacationing on his 63rd birthday on the 26th of May.
