‘Why Did You Serve Him First?’ Samosa Dispute Turns Violent in Pune’s Shirur

Shirur, 15th July 2026: A minor dispute over the order in which samosas were served allegedly escalated into an assault at a sweet shop in Karegaon village of Shirur taluka. Police have registered a case against two men for allegedly assaulting a 26-year-old worker, abusing him, and issuing threats after questioning why another customer was served before them.
