Siliguri, Oct 15: In an unusual incident, a dispute over ‘aloo biryani’ led to a ruckus and a shop was allegedly attacked near NTS More in Siliguri on Monday night. The entire incident was captured on CCTV.
According to reports, a group of youths, including one Gopal Roy, arrived at a biryani shop late Monday night. The dispute started when they asked the shopkeeper for ‘Aloo Biryani’, which the shopkeeper said was not available in the shop. The youths allegedly started abusing the staff.
