The incident happened when a 24-year-old student, Samar Singh, was celebrating his birthday with 30-35 friends at Housefull Cafe Lounge. The students had asked the staff to increase the volume of music to which the latter disagreed, the police said. This is when the bouncers intervened.
“An argument broke out between the two groups which turned into a physical fight. The students claimed that they were thrashed by the bouncers outside the lounge,” Ms. Arya said, adding that the four injured students were taken to a nearby hospital where they were discharged after treatment.
