According to the police, two men named Sachin and Vivek who run a momo kiosk outside the theatre hall called Nikhil after the owner of the kiosk had asked them to vacate the place. On Thursday, around 11.30 pm, Nikhil went to the kiosk and started fighting with the owner Aman Hashmi (21), said the police.

During the investigation, the two men confessed that they had called Nikhil to help them because they did not want to leave the kiosk as their livelihood depended on it.
