Three shots were fired outside a night club in Sector 9 following a fight between two groups who had come to the club last night. A 22-year-old youth, who is popular on TikTok and Instagram for making short videos, suffered a gunshot wound.

According to the police, the complainant, Akash, a resident of Zirakpur, reported that he, along with his friends Sourav Gujjar and Kunal, reached the EskoBar club around 9.30 pm. The trio was sitting on a table while the suspect, Mouvis Bains, along with four others, was sitting on the other table.

After sometime, members of both groups started dancing on the dance floor. While dancing, Sourav and Mouvis exchanged heated words when the latter threw money before him apparently as a reward for his dance moves. When Sourav asked a worker of the club to pick up the money, Mouvis slapped him.

The bouncers intervened and both groups came out of the club where they again quarrelled.

According to the complainant, one of Mouvis’ friends opened fire at Sourav and his friends. Three gun shots were fired. One hit Sourav near the waist.

The suspects fled the spot after the incident. The police were informed about the incident around 11.40 pm, following which a team rushed to the spot. Meanwhile, Sourav was rushed to the PGI.

The police scrutinised the footage of the CCTV cameras installed outside the club.

A case under Sections 307 and 34 of the IPC and 25/27/54/59 of the Arms Act has been registered at the Sector 3 police station. The police said raids were being conducted to nab the suspects.

“Two teams have been sent to Ludhiana and Kharar to nab the accused,” said a police official.

Sourav (22) is famous on TikTok and with background music.
