Two unidentified men vandalised furniture and set them on fire at Kitchen King Hospitality, a canteen located in Sarkhej Makarba, before fleeing the scene on Monday night. The incident has led to a police complaint at Sarkhej police station.

As per the complaint filed by Kirit Ghanshyambhai Thakkar, the manager of Kitchen King Hospitality, the attack took place around 8 pm when customers and staff were present. Two men, aged between 20 and 25 years, entered the canteen armed with a baseball bat and a container of black liquid.

One suspect, dressed in a black T-shirt, grey jeans, and a red cap, smashed chairs with the bat, while the other, wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and a black cap, poured the liquid onto tables and the floor and then setting them on fire, causing significant damage.

The assailants then fled the scene before anyone could intervene. Upon assessing the damage, the canteen staff found that tables, chairs, and a television had been vandalised. The exact motive behind the attack remains unclear.
