A 29-year-old man was injured after he was attacked at a departmental store in West Delhi in the early hours of Tuesday following an altercation with a group of men who allegedly made lewd remarks against his female friend, police said.

during the fight at a 24X7 convenience store in Kirti Nagar, they said. The two had gone to the store around 5.30 am to have snacks.
