Ahmedabad: A dispute over cake-cutting on a public road near Memco Chowk turned violent on Friday night when a group of five youths allegedly attacked a bus operator and his son after being asked to move aside by a luxury bus driver.

Shaherkotda police registered an FIR after the group reportedly barged into the travel office near Memco Chowk, assaulted employees and family members of the firm’s owner, Mahendrakumar Chaudhary, and vandalized the office. The incident, captured on CCTV, shows one of the assailants brandishing a knife.
