Police have registered two FIRs (first information report) in connection with the incident on the basis of complaints from both parties.

According to police, a group of 12-13 people had gone to Duty Free restaurant in Spectrum Mall for dinner.

“During the billing process, there was a heated argument over levying service charges. The argument turned ugly following a scuffle broke out between the group who had come for dinner and the staff members of the restro-bar,” deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Noida, Harish Chander said.

“The situation was brought under control while two FIRs have been registered and further investigation is underway,” Chander said.

The restro-bar opened in the mall about three months back.

A video of the scuffle surfaced on social media on Monday morning where the restaurant staff and customers can be seen hitting each other and hurling abuses.
