A forest department employee has alleged that he and his friends were thrashed by bouncers at a club in a mall at MG Road here, police said. A complaint was lodged with MG Road police outpost and forwarded to the Sector 29 police station SHO, outpost in-charge Balram said.

In his complaint, Dev Kumar, a range officer in Nuh district, said he and his friends had gone to a club at the mall on Monday night, coming out in the early hours of Tuesday.

One of his friends had forgotten his mobile phone inside the club, Kumar said. Kumar and the rest of his party waited outside while his friend went back to retrieve the phone. Kumar alleged that they were talking among themselves when five bouncers standing outside another club attacked them. When his friend came back with his phone and tried to intervene, he was also beaten up, Kumar said. The assault was finally stopped following the intervention of the bouncers and manager of another club, Kumar said.

Kumar then dialled 112 and an Emergency Rescue Vehicle reached the spot and took the injured to the Civil Hospital from where all five were discharged after first aid. Kumar then submitted a written complaint at MG Road police outpost.

''An FIR has been registered against the unknown bouncers and a probe is underway,'' said Assistant Commissioner of Police (East) Dr Kavita.
