A dispute over a Rs 170 garlic naan has led the Goa Police to initiate a departmental inquiry against a sub-inspector accused of abusing and threatening an employee of a restaurant in North Goa. The incident was reported after a restaurant owner in Porvorim alleged misconduct by the police official.
Incident Overview
Police stated that the sub-inspector and his friend visited the restaurant for a meal. Following the meal, they got into an argument with the staff over the "excessive" price of the cheese garlic naan. A purported CCTV video of the incident went viral on social media, showing the police official and another man confronting a staff member at the restaurant.
In the video, the police official allegedly hurled abuses at the restaurant staff and threatened the owner with police action for keeping the restaurant open past 11 pm. A police officer, requesting anonymity, remarked:
“"The sub-inspector argued with a staffer over the food bill, specifically questioning why the cheese garlic naan was priced at Rs 170. When the staff tried to reason with him, he and his friend hurled abuses and threatened the owner."
