AGRA: A group of kanwariyas vandalised a roadside dhaba and assaulted workers at the eatery after they were allegedly served food prepared with onion . Kanwariyas avoid non-vegetarian food, or those that are prepared with onion, garlic and other "tamasic" ingredients during the yatra.
The incident happened at an eatery on the Delhi-Dehradun national highway in Purkaji neighbourhood of Muzaffarnagar district late Monday night. A video of the incident, recorded by a bystander, was later widely shared on social media. Police soon arrived and controlled the situation. A kanwariya named Babu and a dhaba worker named Pintu suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospital, a cop said.
SP Satnarayan Prajapat said, "The kanwariyas were pacified and continued their journey. CCTV footage is being examined, and action will be taken accordingly."
