The incident was captured on a CCTV camera, and the video of the assault has since gone viral.
According to reports, the victim, Zakir Khan (62), who ran a grocery store at ‘C Block’ in Baba Nagar, reportedly had an argument with a pan shop owner after some of the latter’s customers placed chairs in front of Khan’s grocery shop and sat on them.
When Zakir objected to this and asked them to remove the chairs, a group of youngsters thrashed him, punched him in the face and chest, and pushed him down. Zakir succumbed to his injuries.
