A visit to the Khatu Shyam temple in Rajasthan's Sikar district turned into a nightmare for a family from Madhya Pradesh, when they faced an unexpected assault during a rainstorm. Allegedly, two shopkeepers and their employees beat the family for taking temporary shelter in front of a shop.
According to police, the family, consisting of eight members including three women and a minor, were initially asked to leave the shop's premises. When a female member protested, a heated argument erupted, escalating to violence when others joined in wielding sticks.
