Hyderabad's Karachi Bakery vandalised by social workers over name, police register case
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on May 12, 2025, 13:11 IST Hyderabad's iconic Karachi Bakery became the target of protest on Saturday as a group of self-proclaimed social workers vandalised the bakery's Shamshabad outlet, demanding a name change. The incident, which occurred around 3 PM, is part of a broader trend where businesses with names perceived as foreign have come under fire. According to police, the group defaced the bakery's signage and attempted to intimidate staff while raising slogans demanding the removal of the name 'Karachi' — referencing the Pakistani city. However, no staff were injured and no major property damage was reported. 'We reached the spot within minutes and dispersed the group,' said K Balaraju, inspector at RGI Airport Police Station. 'The individuals involved have been identified and a case has been registered under Sections 126 (2) and 324 (4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).' This isn't the first such incident. Just last week, the Banjara Hills branch of Karachi Bakery was symbolically targeted with Indian flags being placed at its entrance. Established in 1953 by a family who migrated from Pakistan during the Partition, Karachi Bakery is a proud Indian business now operated by Rajesh and Harish Ramnani. It is famous for its fruit biscuits and Osmania cookies, with 24 branches in Hyderabad and presence in major cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, and Chennai. 'We are an Indian enterprise. It is unfair to label us as Pakistani,' a manager from the bakery said. The bakery has faced similar backlash in the past, notably in 2019 after the Pulwama attack, when its outlets were threatened. The owners had then approached the government for protection. The latest incident is being seen as part of a recurring pattern of protests against businesses bearing names perceived — however inaccurately — as foreign, amid heightened political and social rhetoric around nationalism.

BJP activists booked for attacking Karachi Bakery at Shamshabad
HYDERABAD: At least 10 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters were booked for allegedly attacking Karachi Bakery at Shamshabad on Saturday around 3 pm. The RGI Airport police registered a case under Section 126(2) (wrongful restraint, referring to the act of intentionally obstructing a person) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against the workers. RGI Airport Inspector K Balaraju said that the case was registered against 10 persons, including BJP town president Vamshi. The protesters did not enter the bakery but damaged its signboard. 'They protested outside the bakery demanding a change of its name from Karachi,' he said. Videos of the protest and vandalism went viral on social media on Sunday. In the videos, the protesters were seen carrying Indian flags and raising slogans like 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai,' 'Jai Jawan,' and 'Pakistan Murdabad.' This incident occurred a few days after the bakery's owners spoke to the media, clarifying that Karachi Bakery is a 100 percent Indian brand, founded in 1953 by their grandfather. 'We are requesting the chief minister, the director general of police (DGP), and the Hyderabad police commissioner to support us. We request the government not to force a change in our brand name, Karachi Bakery,' the owners said. Karachi Bakery was founded in 1953 by Khanchand Ramnani, a Sindhi Hindu migrant who moved to Hyderabad during the partition of India in 1947. The bakery specializes in a wide range of products, including biscuits, cakes, pastries, chocolates, macarons and several other items.
