Man pulls out gun at Hyderabad bar after argument

A 24-year-old man threatened customers and bouncers with a revolver at a Hyderabad bar after an argument early Saturday.

What Happened

The incident began around 12.30 a.m. on October 24 on the second floor of Head Quarters Bar & Restaurant in Somajiguda following a dispute between customers. After staff made both groups leave the floor, one man went to his vehicle in the cellar, got a revolver, and tried to return. A bouncer named Ganesh stopped him at first, but around 12.40 a.m. the man followed people into the cellar, showed the weapon, and demanded a refund for his bill while threatening to shoot.

Police Action

Panjagutta police booked a case after receiving a complaint from 29-year-old bouncer Bachu Bunty. Authorities intercepted the suspect, identified him as liquor business operator Mohammed Shanawaz from Owaisi Colony in Hyderabad, and seized both his revolver and vehicle.

Context
