PABITRA BANERJEE: Most people handle extra-spicy noodles by asking for some water, ordering cold drinks or requesting a milder plate. At most, they scream at the staff and demand a refund. But three allegedly drunk men near Bengaluru’s Electronic City decided to thrash and badly injure the staff of the roadside stall when they found their noodles to be too spicy. The incident took place on Thursday at Doddathoguru in South Bengaluru. The accused, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, picked a fight with the fast-food shop staff over the noodles being too spicy. The argument soon escalated into a violent assault. The accused allegedly pushed the victims to the ground, kicking and punching the stall workers repeatedly while destroying kitchen equipment and utensils.The victims have been identified as Deepak Thapa, Hema and Lakshmi Lama, all natives of Assam, who were allegedly attacked by Nagaraj, Chandru and Devaraj, natives of Karnataka’s Chamarajanagar district. Nearby shopkeepers and passersby intervened to break up the scuffle and rushed the injured workers to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Following a formal complaint, the Electronic City police registered a case against the three assailants under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for assault, criminal intimidation, and public nuisance, taking the suspects into custody.
