Bareilly, April 22: A businessman has been caught on camera, pushing a man off the terrace of a five-star hotel in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly after the latter had an argument with his son, the police said.

The victim Sarthak Agrawal -- also a businessman -- has been admitted to a medical college in critical condition.
