Five Booked After Alleged Assault Over Cold Samosas
A customer named Shiv Shankar Singh bought samosas and sweets from a shop.
He said the samosas were cold and asked the workers to heat them.

The shop owner, Gupteshwar Singh, then came to the shop.
Singh alleged that the owner and other people assaulted him.
He said he contacted the police but did not receive the help he wanted.
