Almost a week after actor Arjun Rampal was accused of assaulting a visitor at a pub in Shangri-la Hotel in Connaught Place, the hotel again witnessed a brawl on Friday morning. The brawl was captured in the CCTV and those involved in it were identified.
It was during the early hours when a youth allegedly created a ruckus and assaulted guards at one of the pubs at the hotel, where he was denied entry as the pub was closed.
Police also said that the man created drama the RMl hospital where he was taken for treatment and assaulted two policemen assisting him.
According to police, the incident took place around 5 am when two policemen from Connaught Place police station arrived at the hotel after receiving a call of brawl. Senior officers said that the man, who was identified as Nishid Gupta (28), a resident of Kailash Colony, was with four others, including his parents, sister and brother-in-law.
“As told by the cops who were at the spot, the man was in an inebriated and injured state. While he was being taken for a medical examination to Ram Manohar lohia hospital, he refused to cooperate. Even in the hospital he created ruckus and assaulted the two cops, injuring them,” said police.
However, a video of the hospital shot apparently by one of the cops also went viral, in which Gupta’s family members are seen accusing the police of having assaulted him.
