Investigators said the incident took place at about 12.30am on Thursday. The 29-year-old victim, Aditi Chhetri, a native of Dehradun, had reached the club with a friend Priyaranjan on Wednesday night.

They said Priyaranjan had started smoking which led to an altercation with the bouncers.

According to the police, Chhetri, a resident of DLF Phase-III, alleged that at least four bouncers, of whom two were women, later assaulted and tried to choke her. The suspects forcibly removed the duo from the club afterwards.
