Bhubaneswar: In a disturbing incident, a group of miscreants allegedly vandalised a restaurant in VSS Nagar area of Bhubaneswar after being denied free food.
The miscreants, stated to have been under the influence of alcohol, forcibly entered the hotel premises, damaged property, and assaulted staff members.
According to the hotel owner, the miscreants were consuming liquor outside the hotel despite being told to refrain from drinking there. When they were refused complimentary snacks, the situation turned ugly.
