Two co-owners of a prasad shop on the premises of Mansa Devi Temple were attacked by a group of miscreants for objecting to verbal abuse on Monday afternoon.
Balwinder Singh of Bhainsa Tibba, who co-owns the shop with Dinesh Kumar, alleged that while they were busy selling prasad, they saw two boys near the shop hurling abuses at people in a drunken state. When they opposed, the duo entered into an argument with him before leaving the spot only to return after 20 minutes with 15-20 boys.
"They started beating us with wooden sticks and stones. We screamed for help. On seeing a police vehicle, the attackers fled the spot,'' the FIR said, quoting the complainant.
The victim claimed that the boys took away around Rs28,900 from them and damaged items at their shop.
According to the police, the entire incident was caught on a CCTV camera and the attackers will be nabbed soon.
A case was registered under Sections 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapon), 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and 379 (punishment for theft) of the Indian Penal Code at the Mansa Devi Complex police station.
