Hyderabad has many pubs and bars where youths usually hang out. In a shocking incident, a techie and his friends were brutally beaten up by the bouncers of ‘Club 8’ on Saturday night.

The victims said “the incident occurred at around 10.45 pm when a group asked the club to play one more song. The bouncers then started clearing the premises. We told them that we have to collect our bags. They then started punching and kicking us. With bleeding injuries, the victims approached the police which took the victims and bouncers to the police station. Police let off the bouncers after a brief inquiry.

The victims, who suffered serious injuries, filed a complaint at the Panjagutta police station. They alleged that the bouncers punched them in the face repeatedly without any provocation.

"Two of the victims, who were injured, were sent for medical treatment. As per facts, we will take action against the bouncers and manager," said inspector Mohan Kumar.

Two of the victims, Shail Jah, 28, a software engineer with Oracle, and his friend Md Shareef, 28, a student, suffered injuries on their faces. The other two, Achut Ajith and Mayank Jah suffered only minor injuries.

Police booked a case against eight bouncers and the club manager. Meanwhile, the bar management filed a counter complaint. They alleged that the youths created trouble at the club. But the police have not booked any case.
