The incident took place around 3am, at a pub near Juhu gymkhana, which is frequented by celebrities. The accused — Shrinivas Sundarvardhan, 28, from Tamil Nadu and S Shashtri Krishna, 25, from Kochi, Kerala — were drunk, said an officer from the Juhu police station. They were given a bill of Rs14,000. However, they fought with the staff, saying they will not pay as it has been inflated.

This resulted in a brawl, after which the staff alerted the police control room. A police team was sent to the spot. The police staff, comprising a woman constable and two policemen, requested the duo and the staff to come to police station, but the former refused.

This led to another heated argument between the police and the duo, who then allegedly pushed the police personnel and touched the policewoman inappropriately.
