WWE Hall of Famer The Great Khali has issued a statement on instagram regarding an altercation he had this past Monday with toll workers in Ludhiana, Punjab, India.
A video of the incident was posted on YouTube by The Tribune in Chandigarh. In the video you can see Khali arguing with several of the toll workers. Per the translation by the Tribune, one of the toll worker’s can be heard asking Khali why he slapped one of the employees. The video, however does not show Khali slapping the other employee.
The following is per the translation in the video:
“You were asked to show your ID card, show the ID card,’ the toll employee tells Khali to which he replies, ‘You are blackmailing me.’ The employee then says, ‘We are not blackmailing you. Why did you slap him? Show the ID card if you have it.”
Khali was said to be traveling from Jalandhar in Punjab to Karnal, Haryana at the time. According to local police, neither side has filed a complaint.
Khali took to Instagram on Tuesday and said the toll worker made racist comments towards him after he denied taking a selfie with all the toll workers.
“Hello Friends. Yesterday while going to karnal, toll tax employee of Phillaur stopped my car and misbehaved for selfie. When I denied selfie, he ruthlessly passed racist comments also used bad words. That’s all I want to say. Thank you.”
