Sources said when the Chandigarh-born singer was coming out of the eatery after having dinner with his three friends — Gurpreet, Teji, and Kuljit – on Saturday night, an argument broke out between Vicky and the eatery owner.

Vicky requested Alfaaz to mediate. On seeing that the eatery owner was not paying his money, he tried to flee with his tempo. While fleeing, he hit Alfaaz with the tempo, resulting in serious injuries.

The singer’s friends blocked the road and stopped Vicky from fleeing in the tempo. The suspect later tried to flee the spot on foot.
