In a complaint to the police, Ashutosh Pratap Singh of Pinjore said he, along with his friends Shivam Kaushik of Ludhiana, Vishwajeet Singh of Kurukshetra, Anshuman Rana of Karnal and Dhruv Gupta of Panchkula, had returned from Chandigarh and ordered food at an eating joint in Sector 20.

We got his head bandaged from a hospital and returned to the Sector 20 market where we rang up the PCR. Before cops arrived, some 10-12 boys from the eatery came and attacked us with sticks. The restaurant guard also opened fire,” he alleged. Ashutosh claimed that he was hit on the head with an iron rod. Anshuman and Vishwajeet were also beaten up, he said.
