However when the police pointed to him about his missing fist, the youth was incoherent in his reply, much to the officer's surprise. An officer from Mahalakshmi police station told News Trail that the victim was too drunk to even realise about the grievous injury.

The incident took place at Kadamba bar on the midnight of October 31 when the victim, S Prajwal, was partying with his friends.

The bar staff intervened and asked both the groups to leave.

Scanning the CCTV footage, the police identified a few accused and arrested one of them so far. Meanwhile the police are also searching for the severed fist of Prajwal, which they suspect to have been
