Luck would have it, was thrown to a corner of the room.

Salman obviously was taken aback and slapped the youngster. 'The shocked fan', said the eyewitness 'was thrown to a corner of the room'. As Salman's luck would have it, a top news channel had captured these moments on camera!
Salman's bodyguards saw it and demanded the footage be deleted. Salman too stepped in and requested the same.

"thrown to a corner of the room": I haven't heard this as an idiom, so I think it might be literal...either the slap was hard enough to make the guy move a short distance into the room's corner, or they picked him up after the slap and threw him.

"luck would have it": In this context, it means Salman had bad luck.
