The messiah of migrant workers Sonu Sood hopped on to Twitter and warned people of impostors asking for money to help people reach home amid lockdown. He further requested people to report if anyone asked for money on behalf of the actor.

Mumbai: Actor Sonu Sood on Friday took to social media to warn people about imposters seeking money from the migrant workers, in the name of the actor, in order to help them reach home amid the lockdown.

Hopping on to Twitter, the Happy New Year actor asked people to report if anyone asked for money on his behalf.

The Dabangg actor tweeted: "Doston, jo bhi seva hum shramiko ke liye kar rahe hai woh bilkul nishulk hai. Aapse agar koi bhi vyakti mera naam lekar paise maange toh mana kar dijiyega aur turant humein ya kareebi police officer ko report kijiye. (Friends, we are providing our services to migrant workers absolutely free. If someone asks you for money in my name, then refuse and report it to us or the nearest police officer) (sic)."

In another tweet, he shared screenshots of Whatsapp conversation between some migrant workers and impostors and warned them that some people are trying to take advantage of their needs.

According to news reports, Sonu and his team recently distributed food to 28,000 people across the coastal lines of Mumbai and moved them to several schools and colleges, before cyclone Nisarga hit Maharashtra coast on Wednesday.

Earlier, the Governor of Maharashtra Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Union Minister Smriti Irani, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and Rajya Sabha MP Amar Patnaik among others lauded Sonu for his relentless effort to help the migrant workers reach home.
