An unexpected attack unfolded at a famed temple in Rajasthan, when a family seeking refuge from the rain was assaulted by local shopkeepers. The violent episode occurred near the Khatu Shyam temple in Sikar. After seeking temporary shelter outside a shop, the family faced unexpected hostility.
The shopkeeper demanded that the family, which included women and a minor girl, vacate the premises. Despite their plea to wait out the storm, the situation escalated when the family was forcefully ejected. This led to a heated exchange and subsequent physical assault involving another shopkeeper and employees.
Law enforcement quickly intervened, arresting four individuals implicated in the attack.
