According to the police, the victim filed a complaint on January 28 that he went to the Dorsia Club located on Gurugram-Faridabad Road on January 25 with his friends.
The victim alleged that after having food he started dancing.
Meanwhile, the bouncers pushed him on the instructions of the club owner. They started pulling him out and attacked him with sticks and weapons.
The victim later underwent nose surgery at a hospital in Delhi. On the complaint of the victim model, the police have registered a case and started an investigation.

To curb such incidents, the district police had also started conducting police verification of bouncers.
