New Delhi, March 6 (IANS) A group of six people, including two women, assaulted a Delhi Police Assistant Sub-Inspector, tearing his uniform and snatching his phone and revolver when he asked the disc jockey at a function to stop playing, police said on Tuesday.
Police said the incident occurred at 1.30 a.m on Sunday at west Delhi's Tagore Garden area after a resident of the area informed a Police Control Room (PCR) about a DJ performing late at night.
