They also poured the hot sambar on the women and warned of burning them if they continue their business there.
Police hesitate to book case: Allegation
Though the women went to police station and complained against the Bajrang Dal workers, the police allegedly declined to take their complaints.
Khamarunnisa told Varthabharati that they have been doing their business in shandy markets and it was their profession. "How should we survive if we are attacked publicly? When we went to a police station with a hope that they would ensure justice, the police declined to take the complaint. The police warned us saying that they would book a case against us as they found beef on the spot. We have informed the local MLA MP Kumaraswamy about the incident and waiting for his response", they said.
