Haque informed them that the shop does not serve 'by two' coffee. The group then paid for three cups, and Haque served them accordingly. However, one of them asked for an additional empty cup. Haque refused, saying it was against shop policy. This led to an argument, during which the group allegedly began abusing him.
Haque said, 'I objected to the foul language, and that's when the fight started.'

CCTV footage from the outlet shows one of Arun's friends storming behind the counter and hitting Haque. In response, Haque picked up a sharp object and attacked the man.

A senior police officer confirmed that Arun was arrested and later released on bail. Further action is being taken in the matter.

Inter-state drug lab in buffalo barn busted; drugs & equipment worth Rs 50 crore seized
Inter-state drug lab in buffalo barn busted; drugs & equipment worth Rs 50 crore seized NEW DELHI: A joint operation by Rajasthan and Maharashtra police, and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has led to the busting of a drug cartel, which was using a buffalo barn in Barmer, Rajasthan, as cover to manufacture Mephedrone and Ketamine, with drugs and equipment worth Rs 50 crore being seized from the site and from Raigad in Maharashtra. The cartel was into manufacturing synthetic drugs at clandestine labs in remote areas. As much as 34 kg of Ketamine powder and 12 litres of liquid drugs were seized during the operation, officials said. The operation began with the detection of a clandestine facility at village Dholakia in Barmer district, where police found precursor chemicals and lab equipment used to manufacture the synthetic drug Mephedrone. "The facility was cleverly concealed inside a buffalo barn in a secluded area of the village. Two members of the drug syndicate were detained by the police. NCB Jodhpur collaborated with the district police in the investigation," a senior officer said. During interrogation, the accused revealed the involvement of other members of the syndicate, including one who was a resident of Raigad district in Maharashtra and had supplied the chemicals and lab equipment to set up the facility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like China's humanoid robots generate more football excitement than their human counterparts CNA Read More Undo The Raigad police detained the man, who revealed that he had previously worked at M/s Rohan Chemicals at Mahad, Raigad, a factory that's shut down. A search of the premises by NCB Mumbai and Raigad police led to the recovery of approximately 34 kg of Ketamine in powder form and 12 litres of Ketamine in liquid form, along with precursor chemicals and lab equipment. The investigations have revealed the involvement of a mastermind who has been involved in drug trafficking cases earlier. The successful operation was made possible due to real-time sharing of information and coordinated efforts by Barmer police, Raigad police, and NCB zones at Jodhpur, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai. The NCB has been making intensive efforts to curb the manufacture of synthetic drugs at clandestine facilities. Recently, it sealed a clandestine lab manufacturing Mephedrone at Sri Ganganagar, from where 5 kg of Mephedrone and precursor chemicals were recovered, and several persons, including physics and chemistry teachers, arrested.

Son, two others dupe illiterate woman of Rs17 lakh
Nagpur: An illiterate woman from Ganesh Nagar in Dabha was duped of Rs17 lakh by her own son and his two accomplices under the guise of helping her secure a loan. The incident took place within the Gittikhadan police station limits and spanned from December 2023 to July 2025. The complainant, 47-year-old Pournima Gajbhiye, had been struggling to obtain a loan due to her low CIBIL score. Desperate for funds, she sought help online along with her son, where she came across the number of the first accused, Varsha Bhende, aged 45, a resident of Besa Road, Manish Nagar. When Gajbhiye contacted Bhende, she was assured of assistance in getting a loan, provided she submitted necessary documents. Behind her back, Bhende conspired with Gajbhiye's son, Sarang, 27, and another associate, Rajendra Vithoba Diyewar of Gopal Nagar, to defraud her. The trio collected house ownership documents, blank cheques, and signed papers from the unsuspecting woman. Later, they called her to the district office under the pretext of taking a photograph for the loan process. Exploiting her inability to read or write, they fraudulently transferred the ownership of her plot to Diyewar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Shop Sale Libas Undo Further, the accused secured a housing loan of Rs18.5 lakh from a small finance company in Ramdaspeth using the property as collateral. The woman was informed that the loan had been approved and that the funds had been deposited into an account in her name. However, after she withdrew only Rs1.9 lakh herself, the remaining Rs16.6 lakh was siphoned off through cheques pre-signed by her. Police officials said that the trio divided the embezzled amount among themselves, leaving the woman unaware and financially ruined. All three accused — Varsha Bhende, Sarang Gajbhiye, and Rajendra Diyewar — are currently absconding. Speaking to TOI, inspector Kailash Deshmane said that this is a new modus operandi being used by fraudsters. "These people target those with low CIBIL scores and then dupe them by pretending to arrange funds for them," he said. While this is the first such offence registered at Gititikhadan police station, Deshamne added that this MO is being widely used in recent times. A case of criminal conspiracy, cheating, and breach of trust has been registered by Gittikhadan police.
