Fight over bill, people targeted waiter

Chandigarh: A distressing incident has recently been uncovered in Chandigarh. In this case, a group of individuals assaulted a waiter due to a substantial liquor bill. To compound the situation, after the altercation, when these individuals attempted to flee in their vehicle, the waiter made an effort to halt them. However, instead of coming to a stop, the occupants of the car dragged him for roughly 100 meters, causing severe injuries. Both of the waiter’s hands sustained fractures, and his leg was also injured. Notably, women were among those involved in the altercation, and they were brandishing swords. This incident transpired on a Sunday morning.

The incident unfolded in Sector-20 of Panchkula, where two men had visited a nightclub in the company of three women. They indulged in drinking, dining, and revelry, a sequence that continued until four in the morning. When the waiter presented them with the bill, a dispute erupted between the two men, and the bill reportedly amounted to over Rs 23,000. The dispute between the men and the waiter escalated to violence when the two men clashed with the nightclub’s bouncers. In the meantime, one of the men called a friend for assistance. Soon after, a group of around a dozen people arrived at the scene in two vehicles. They were armed with sticks and swords, and three women among them were also seen wielding swords and engaging in physical altercations.

As the altercation intensified, the involved parties attempted to flee. During this attempt to escape, an 18-year-old waiter, identified as Jayant, tried to impede their progress. Regrettably, the assailants dragged him for approximately 100 meters during this incident, which was documented on camera. Jayant is currently receiving medical treatment at the Civil Hospital in Sector 6, Panchkula. Following the incident, the Sector 20 police arrived at the scene to initiate an investigation into the matter.
