Journalists attacked while covering illegal party in Gurugram

In a shocking incident on Saturday morning, journalists from a local news channel were attacked by bouncers at an Ahata on Golf Course Extension Road in Gurugram while covering an illegal rave party, reportedly in the presence of police. An FIR has been registered at the Sector 50 police station.

According to the complaint filed by Manu Mehta, a scribe with a private channel, he received information that a group had been holding a party in violation of rules at Hacha Cafe in Sector 49 since late night, with loud music disturbing nearby residents. The new party began at 6.00 am, attracting young men and women from Delhi and the NCR. The police reportedly arrived after receiving a complaint about the illegal gathering.

“As soon as I and my team reached the spot and started video recording, the party organisers became enraged. They began shouting abuse and shoving. The Ahata’s bouncers attacked us, vandalised my car and pelted stones. The entire incident was captured on camera. They threatened the cameraman and tried to stop his recording and snatch his mic ID. After receiving information, a police team arrived and rescued us,” Mehta said in his complaint.

Following the complaint, an FIR was registered against unknown accused under relevant sections of the BNS at the Sector 50 police station.

A senior police officer said authorities are trying to identify the accused using CCTV footage and added arrests are expected soon.
