Journalists Attacked While Covering Late-Night Gathering
Two individuals have been taken into custody by Gurgaon police for allegedly physically assaulting two YouTube content creators and stealing their possessions. The disturbing incident occurred when the journalists visited a combined liquor store and party venue located on Golf Course Extension Road to document what they believed to be an unauthorized gathering.
Morning Raid Turns Violent
The confrontation unfolded around 7:30 AM on November 22 when the video journalists arrived at Ha Cha in Sector 49 to investigate reports of illegal party activities. According to the formal complaint filed with authorities, the assailants not only attacked the YouTubers but also confiscated their identification documents and caused significant damage to their vehicles.
Police officials revealed that the primary suspects, identified as Sukhvendra from Charkhi-Dadri and Gaurav Taneja from Rohtak, have concerning criminal backgrounds. Sukhvendra has connections to the high-profile murder case of BJP leader Sonali Phogat in Goa, while Taneja already faces previous assault charges.
