I simply entered the kitchen and requested them to serve us extra chapatis. Instead of refusing me, they started hitting me with utensils," said Ravish.
After the quarrel, the police brought Ravish and Pratik, who were injured during the brawl to Bowring Hospital for medical check-ups.
After the treatment they were taken back to Cubbon Park station for questioning.
At Bowring Hospital, Pratik played the race card. He asked, "Is this the way North Indians are treated? We were attacked by 20 of the staff members of the hotel for no reason."
Discussing their injuries, he added, "They hit us with utensils. I also lost my cellphone and watch."
One of the officials from Cubbon Park Police station said, "The group of men were drunk when they asked for the chapatis. When they were denied, an argument broke out."
Medical reports revealed high alcohol content in the blood of Pratik and Ravish.
