Meanwhile, the management of the bar ‘Lost Lemons’ in a statement quoting the owner Luv Dhingra said the “unfortunate” incident took place outside the club and involved a few unidentified miscreants who were not part of the club security since the club does not have any bouncers employed at all.
“As a club owner, we are cooperating with the police and have already provided the DVR, CCTV footage, and the club has been sealed,” Dhingra said.
