28 year old Rajdeep Ramesh Singh the man arrested for blocking Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn's car on Tuesday morning is out on bail.

On Tuesday, Mumbai Police arrested Singh, who stopped the actor's car from entering a film studio where he was headed for a shoot.

Singh wanted to know why the actor hadn't thrown his solidarity behind the farmers protesting against the new agricultural laws.

According to reports circulating in India, when Devgn's bodyguard requested the man to move aside, it led to a scuffle. The man also allegedly abused Devgn during the incident, which reportedly occurred in Mumbai's Goregaon area.
