The lights were turned off inside the entertainment bar, which was struck by a blunt machine. In the video, one policeman explained, “After checking the police on CCTV, it seems that the lights were turned off to avoid the crackdown.” There was a male employee wearing a mask on the bar table in the nightlife bar that was off. Three women were also identified in the room.
