A party attended by a 24-year-old gym instructor turned fatal as a disc jockey stabbed him to death after a quarrel overplaying of songs at a bar in West Punjabi Bagh on Sunday night.
Among other people, who were injured in the full-blown bar fight was victim’s girlfriend, who suffered severe head injuries.
The incident occurred around midnight, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Vijay Kumar reportedly said.
Vijaydeep, who owned a gym, was celebrating his friend Ishmit’s birthday with eight others. He went to the disc jockey, Deepak Bisht, and reportedly requested him to play a particular song, reported PTI.
However, Bisht – also known as DJ Yuri – reportedly refused, and this led to a confrontation between the two. Ishmit’s friends reportedly fought with the staff at the pub and Bisht, and flung chairs at them and smashed beer bottles, the report said.
Bisht allegedly took out a knife during the fight and stabbed Vijaydeep, who died on the spot. The pub’s bartenders and other staff fled before the police arrived.
The police have seized closed-circuit television camera footage of the incident and also the murder weapon. They are now recording the statements of a few employees of the bar, the report added.
