Hyderabad, April 26 (PMI) A shocking incident took place in Hyderabad where a man allegedly attacked staff members of a food outlet with a sword after a dispute over the price of a curry packet.
According to police, the incident occurred around 10 pm at Sai Foods in Beeramguda under the jurisdiction of Ameenpur Police Station. The accused, identified as Jeevarathnam, had demanded a curry packet for ₹10, while the actual price was ₹20. When the staff refused to sell it at the lower price, an argument broke out.
The situation quickly escalated into a physical altercation, as seen in CCTV footage, with both the accused and staff pushing and grabbing each other.
In a sudden fit of rage, Jeevarathnam reportedly chased the employees around the counter and attacked them with a sword. The frightened staff tried to protect themselves using plastic stools while pleading with him to stop.
