The CCTV footage shows the three men approaching the club, with two of them carrying guns, and threatening the bouncers stationed outside the club. One of the men orders the three bouncers, including a female, to kneel down, saying, "Ghutno pe aaja" (kneel down). He then threatens, "I'll shoot you in the head if you get up," while pointing a gun at them.

As the bouncers kneel down, the two other men enter the club but leave shortly after, apparently not finding the owner inside. They also fired multiple shots at the club while abusing the owner before fleeing the scene, NDTV reported.

Group Opens Fire In South Delhi Pub

In a separate incident, a group of men fired shots at a pub in South Delhi on August 26, after an argument with the manager over seating arrangements, according to officials. At least five people have been arrested in connection with this case.

According to India Today, police reported that a group of young men from Jahangirpuri visited the Love Bite Café and Lounge in the Satya Niketan area for a birthday celebration. A dispute over seating quickly arose, leading to one of the men opening fire inside the pub.

Ahmed, one of the arrested individuals, reportedly fired several rounds into the air in anger, but no one was injured. The pub authorities subsequently called the police, resulting in the arrest of Ahmed.
