According to reports, the altercation took place on Sunday, June 28, near the Vidhana Soudha Metro station.

Police are examining CCTV footage from the area to identify others involved in the clash. The investigation is ongoing.
This is not the first such incident involving Nepali nationals in the city. Last year, Bengaluru Police arrested 13 Nepali nationals after a brawl reportedly broke out while they were filming social media reels. The situation escalated to the point where police resorted to a lathi-charge to bring it under control.
