Men open fire, force bouncers to kneel in extortion bid at Delhi club; CCTV footage surfaces

New Delhi: A shocking incident has come to light from North East Delhi's Seemapuri, where three armed men launched an attack on the Kaanch Club late Thursday night. The assailants targeted the club in a blatant attempt to intimidate the owner and extort money. The entire episode was captured by CCTV cameras installed outside the club. Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries.

Details of the incident

According to the police, the attackers were heavily armed. Two of them carried guns and aggressively confronted the club's bouncers. In the CCTV footage, the men are seen approaching the club, where they threaten the bouncers with their weapons. One of the attackers is heard commanding, "'Ghutno pe aaja' (kneel down)," and warns them, "I'll shoot you in the head if you get up," as he aims his gun at them.

Following this threat, the two other assailants entered the club. They quickly exited after a brief search, reportedly because they could not locate the owner. In their frustration, the attackers fired several rounds into the club and shouted abuses at the owner before fleeing the scene.
