On Sunday night, a young couple and their family were harassed at a pub and microbrewery in the sector 47 on Sohna Road, Gurugram. The wife was allegedly harassed by a man, and when her husband, her son, and other members of the family protested they were beaten up. 

These men passed a lewd comment on my wife and when we objected, they came over to our table and threatened us.

When the family decided to leave the pub, the harasser broke a beer bottle on the husband’s head. The couple’s son, who is specially-abled, was also injured during this incident. The entire act was captured on the pub’s CCTV.

A complaint was filed by the husband. However, the complaint was only written down regarding the public nuisance and provocation, and not about the alleged assault.
