A 46-year-old vendor was thrashed by two men after he refused to sell them cigarettes during curfew hours in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
As per a report in Ahmedabad Mirror, a complaint in this regard has been filed with Danilimda police. Kamruddin Ansari, resident of Santoshnagar Char Maliya in Danilimda, Gujarat, makes a living running a grocery store out of his house.
Police said, "When the weekend curfew was in force, Danilimda resident Abdul Mohammad allegedly approached Ansari on Sunday night and asked him to open his shop and give them cigarettes."
