Washington DC, Apr 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Actor Kal Penn was held at gunpoint and robbed, in the early morning hours on Tuesday. His representative has also confirmed the incident.

The actor had become the liaison officer between the White House and the Asian communities. However he had announced recently that he was heading back to don the grease paint to shoot for another ‘Harold & Kumar’ movie. But before he could go back to Hollywood, he was attacked at gunpoint.
