Student shot at after scuffle at Saket pub

A Class XII student was shot at outside the Saket district centre after a brawl at Club London Pub on Sunday night. Accused, Bhanu, was arrested soon after the incident and a case of attempt to murder was registered against him at the Saket police station.

The victim, identified as Ankit Meena, had gone to the pub with his friend Hemant. He ended up brushing against Bhanu on the crowded dance floor. “We were all dancing and accidentally brushed up against a person. A brief argument ensued. Since the music was too loud, I could not even hear what he was saying,” Meena said.

He further said that as he walked out of the club, the accused followed him and started abusing him. The duo had another argument, during which Bhanu hit him, leading to a scuffle. According to Meena, Bhanu then suddenly whipped out a pistol from his pants and fired a shot at him. “The bullet went through my stomach. My friend had gone to the parking lot to get the car,” he said.
