Faridabad, March 27 There was a heated confrontation during a party at a club on Omaxe World Street in Greater Faridabad, where two groups clashed over changing the music on the DJ system, police said on Friday.
In the ensuing scuffle, a young woman was allegedly beaten up after being dragged by her hair. Based on a complaint lodged by one of the groups, police have registered an FIR against two named individuals and unnamed others at the BPTP police station, officials said.
A video of the scuffle went viral on social media, showing a woman trying to mediate between the two groups.
Police confirmed the scuffle between the two groups, though they did not confirm if the woman was beaten up.
In his complaint, Raman Grover, a builder from Sector 21A, said he had booked the club, Vayu, owned by Neeraj Chitkarahe, who is known to him, to celebrate the birthday of his daughter, Mehak, on Thursday.
Mehak is an undergraduate student in Canada who is currently home on a holiday.
Grover said he dropped his daughter and her two friends at the club around midnight on Thursday and returned home.
Shortly after, he received a call from his daughter, who claimed that some youths present at the club were misbehaving with her after an argument over changing the music on the DJ system.
When he reached the club, the complaint alleged, Grover, Mehak, and her friends were beaten up by Vaibhav Arora and 10-12 other youths.
"My daughter had asked to change the music. Simmi Arora, who was present there, got into an argument with my daughter and slapped her. She then called her friends and relatives, who attacked my daughter and her friends.
"They also snatched my daughter's diamond earring," the complainant alleged.
Police have launched an investigation after registering an FIR against Vaibhav Arora, Rishit, and others, officials said.
"Both parties are known to the club owner. We are reviewing CCTV footage from the club. Action will be taken as per the law after verifying the facts," local SHO Arvind Kumar said.
