The man, Gagan Deep Singh, who has a business of water coolers, lives in Paschim Vihar with his family. On March 8, he and his wife, along with their friends, went to the hotel for a Holi party. Singh told police he was outside with his friend while his wife was inside the club. Around 7-8 pm, he was trying to gain entry to the club when he was stopped. He alleged bouncers did not allow them as ‘stag’ entry wasn’t allowed and hurled abuses before he was beaten up with sticks and rods. He said, “I called the police who then took me to the hospital. I sustained injuries all over my face… and legs.”
