AHMEDABAD: A resident of Navrangpura, who runs his tea stall near Gujarat University, on Thursday filed a complaint against three men for beating him over a dispute of washing of hands by some customers. The accused and his son own a shop beside the tea stall of the complainant.

Mahipalsinh Chauhan, 24, a resident of Pooja Flats in Gulbai Tekra locality, said in his FIR with Gujarat University police that the incident took place at around 9.15pm on Thursday.

Chauhan said that the accused Bhupendra Panchal and his son Vedang Panchal own a shop just beside his shop.

On Thursday night, Bhupendra and Vedang came to Chauhan and told him that his customers used to wash their hands in front of their shop due to which their shop is getting dirty.
