“CCTV footage is being checked by the police in relation to the viral video of the incident of assault/tussle at the bar located at Gardens Galleria under Sector-39 Noida police station. Legal action will be implemented against those who are found involved in the case,” said Noida additional DGP Ashutosh Dwivedi, in a statement.

He also noted that no complaint has been filed so far by either parties involved and that the police came to know about the incident through the viral video.

However, one of the parties involved released a video on Friday evening, which was sourced by Hindustan Times, clarifying that it was not a brawl like people on social media are claiming it to be. “Somebody has wrongly made the video viral… we had an argument which they called brawl…after (what) the video (showed), we had food and left from the bar together after an hour of it (the video)…” he was heard saying in Hindi.

Several similar incidents have been reported from Uttar Pradesh's Noida this year.

In May, a 30-year-old man died after allegedly being brutally hit during a brawl at a pub in the same mall in Noida’s Sector 39. Employees of a private firm were partying at the pub when the man, Brajesh, was hit on his head amid an argument with the staffers over the bill. He was taken to the hospital where he was declared dead.

In November, a man was arrested for allegedly assaulting a security guard inside Gaur City mall situated at Chaar Murti roundabout in Greater Noida West under the Bisrakh police station limits.
