Ahmedabad: Four Men Attack Dhaba Operator, Vandalise Restaurant on SP Ring Road

Four men allegedly attacked a dhaba operator and vandalised tables and chairs at a dhaba on Ahmedabad’s SP Ring Road on October 31, forcing diners to flee.

The incident took place at Kesar Punjab Dhaba in Odhav, where the men had arrived to collect a food parcel. Odhav police registered a case and detained all four accused.

Dispute Escalates After Dhaba Operator Intervenes

According to the complaint, Poonam Panchal, a resident of Odhav, runs Kesar Punjab Dhaba on SP Ring Road. On the night of October 31, her son, Ashish, was managing the dhaba while she was at home.

The four men arrived to collect a food parcel but began arguing near the counter. Ashish intervened to calm them down and prevent the dispute from disturbing other customers and families dining at the restaurant.

The men allegedly abused Ashish and escalated the argument before leaving the premises.

Attackers Return, Vandalise Restaurant

The four men returned to the restaurant shortly afterwards and allegedly attacked Ashish, assaulting him before turning on the property.

They overturned tables and chairs and damaged potted plants and other items kept on the premises, causing a commotion inside the restaurant.

Diners abandoned their meals and rushed outside in fear as the attackers went on a rampage. The four men fled after the assault and vandalism.

Police Detain All Four Accused

Odhav police registered a case based on the restaurant operator’s complaint and detained all four accused.

Police Inspector P N Zinzuwadia said the police had taken action against the accused and that further legal proceedings were underway.
