The Case

A 30-year-old Brijesh Rai was killed following a scuffle with the staff of a pub inside Gardens Galleria Mall here late night April 25. The incident took place at 11 PM after a group of people involved in a fight with the bouncers of the bar over the issue of money. As per media reports, Rai was allegedly thrashed to death by the bouncers of Lost Lemons Bar after an argument over the payment of the bill.

After the matter came to light, Uttar Pradesh police had lodged an FIR against nine persons at the Noida Sector 39 police station on charges of murder. Till now, eight people, including five employees of Lost Lemons and two security personnel of Gardens Galleria, were arrested. However, one other accused in the case is still absconding.

According to Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Noida) Ranvijay Sing, multiple police teams are working on the case, and efforts are on to nab the ninth accused in the case — a staffer of Lost Lemons.
