Ex-BJP councilor's sons arrested along with friends after brawl erupts over non-payment of bill leading to stone pelting and attack on gang by local residents

A hostage situation of sorts broke out at a local pub in the city at 8.30 pm last night, over a group trying to get away without paying for their drinks. After enjoying several rounds of drinks amounting to Rs 950 at Balaji Bar and Restaurant in Kodigehalli, six men began to exit the place one by one while waiters were clueless to what was going on.

When the waiter serving them realised that the last man at the table was also about to leave, he asked him to pay the pending bill. The inebriated man created a scene and threatened to kill the waiter, by which time three beat constables from Kodigehalli police station were called in.
