After he asked people not to make noise late at night, a 48-year-old security guard was thrashed by a group, at an apartment complex in Ghaziabad early Monday morning. Eight men have been booked, and two men arrested, police said. Police said the incident took place around 3.30 am when some visitors to a flat in Shalimar City Residential Society in Sahibabad were leaving the complex. “They had gone to attend a party.
