Sonu Sood has been doing his best to help the migrant workers amidst the coronavirus lockdown. Earlier, today, a report stated that Sood was denied meeting migrants at Bandra Terminus by the Railway Protection Force (RPF). Now, the ‘Dabangg’ actor has responded on the same.
Addressing the same, the actor took to his Twitter handle to clarify the reports, “Just to set the record straight – I was not stopped from entering the station. I absolutely respect the protocols and have duly followed it. I had requested the state government for the train so that I could send the migrants back home to reunite them with their families,” he tweeted.

In another tweet, he wrote, “As there were almost two thousand people. I am extremely thankful to the state govt, Hon. CM Uddhav Thackeray ji @CMOMaharashtra @AUThackeray @AslamShaikh_MLA for helping me bring a smile on the faces of all migrants! Jai Hind Flag of India”
Mumbai’s Nirmal Nagar police station’s senior inspector Shashikant Bhandare informed the news agency PTI, “The actor was stopped by the RPF, not by us. He wanted to meet labourers who were going to their native place. We have not received any complaint regarding this till now.”
