The manager of Punjabi singer Karan Aujla has been booked by Chandigarh Police in connection with the alleged assault of an NRI student outside a popular nightclub in Sector 7. The case stems from a late-night altercation that escalated into a violent attack, leaving the victim with multiple injuries.
Police have identified one of the accused as Baldeep Singh Sarao, alias Bali, who is associated with singer Karan Aujla as his manager. Along with him, four others, including two unidentified men, have been named in the FIR registered at Sector 26 Police Station.
According to the complaint, the victim, Dhruv Trehan, a finance student pursuing higher studies in France, had gone to the club with friends when an argument broke out between his group and another party. Investigators said Trehan attempted to calm the situation, but instead became the target of the assault.
The complainant alleged that members of the rival group attacked him with punches and other objects, causing injuries to his hands and body. During the confrontation, one of the accused allegedly claimed to be the son of a judge and threatened the victim with serious consequences.
Police said the situation became more alarming when two members of the group allegedly retrieved a firearm from their vehicle and brandished it outside the club, creating panic among bystanders and staff. The accused are also alleged to have fled the scene in a luxury SUV after damaging vehicles parked nearby.
Besides Baldeep Singh Sarao, the FIR names Aniket Gupta and Jagdeep Singh Kang alias Jaggi, while two unidentified suspects are also being investigated. Jagdeep Singh Kang has previously been linked to another high-profile criminal case, police sources said.
Following the complaint, the injured student underwent medical examination at Government Multi-Speciality Hospital, Sector 16. Based on the medical report and preliminary evidence, police registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act.
Investigators are examining CCTV footage from the nightclub and surrounding areas to reconstruct the sequence of events and identify the roles of each accused. No official statement has yet been issued by Karan Aujla or his management regarding the allegations against Sarao.
Police said further action will depend on the evidence collected during the ongoing investigation.
