Hyderabad:Four persons attacked bar staff with a sword after being refused permission to consume alcohol inside a bar beyond permitted serving hours in Narsingi. Two staff members sustained injuries in the incident.
The incident occurred around 11.45 pm on Tuesday at a budget-friendly bar, located at Lalamma Garden on Pipeline Road under Narsingi police station limits.
According to a preliminary inquiry, three people entered the bar and asked for beer. The staff informed them that the permitted serving hours had ended and that only takeaway or parcel order is possible. However, the trio insisted on consuming the alcohol inside the premises.
After being asked to leave, the three people went outside and called another person to the location. Around 10 minutes later, the fourth person arrived carrying a sword, and attempted to assault the bar staff.
The staff members resisted and tried to prevent the attack, resulting in a scuffle. One staff member, Shravan, suffered blunt injuries, while another, Mahesh, sustained a minor bleeding injury on his palm. The four persons subsequently fled from the spot on a Scooty, police said.
Police have launched an investigation and are also making efforts to identify and apprehend the persons involved.
