Police on Sunday arrested a person in Mathura for threatening a Muslim man who ran a dosa store within the metropolis.
The accused has been recognized as Shrikant Sharma. We have arrested one individual in a single case. He is a neighborhood and prima facie it seems that he has no affiliation with any organisation. We are within the means of figuring out others concerned within the incident. Further investigation is pending,” mentioned an officer of Kotwali police station.
According to the complainant Irfan, on August 18, he was crushed up by a gaggle of males objecting to the title of his stall – Srinath Dosa Corner. In a video that has surfaced on social media, Sharma and others are seen tearing down the banners of the eatery and warning Irrfan to take away the stalls from the town’s Vikas Bazaar.
The employees of the eatery mentioned that it’s owned by a neighborhood resident named Rahul, who pays them Rs 400 per day to run it. Irfan mentioned, ‘We have been operating this for the final 5 years… That day some folks got here and tore the banners and mentioned that Muslim folks can not run a store beneath a Hindu title. It regarded like he had an issue with the title.”
