Eatery owner beaten up

A 30-year-old man was allegedly beaten up and his eatery damaged by a group of around eight men following a heated argument over the food served to them in south Delhi's Sarojini Nagar area, police said today.
The eatery owner, identified as Kuldeep Singh, was rushed to AIIMS trauma centre following the incident that took place last night at around 10:30 PM. His condition was reported to be stable.
Police have identified a few of the accused persons and a team is searching for them. A case under relevant sections has been registered at Safdarjung Enclave police station in this connection, said a senior official.

According to police, the episode occurred when eight men had come to the eatery for dinner. Once their order arrived, they complained that they had asked for a different variety of dal from the one that was served to them.
A heated argument then ensued as Singh refused to accept the claims by the group of diners in question.
During the argument, a few men in the group left, but the ones who were still arguing with Singh then called up their friends. Within minutes, a few more men had joined them and they allegedly started thrashing Singh. Once Singh collapsed, they damaged his eatery and left.

The other vendors in the area called up police following which Singh was rushed to hospital.
