Vishal Shastri, owner of Shastri Fashion near Shani Mandir, reported that a customer, aged around 29-30, came to his store with his family to browse sarees.
According to Shastri, the customer asked to see sarees within a ₹1000 range, and as he was showing options, he addressed the man as "uncle ji," which the customer reportedly found insulting.
The customer became offended and started arguing about why the shopkeeper called him "uncle." The man then left with his family but soon returned with a group of 10-15 friends. The group then allegedly dragged Shastri out of his shop and assaulted him on the street.
