According to allegations, a group of locally influential individuals entered the pharmacy and launched an attack on the employees. Female staff members were also reportedly subjected to physical assault during the incident.
The assailants allegedly vandalised the shop, looted items from the premises and forcibly evicted everyone present inside. They subsequently took control of the pharmacy and put a lock on its entrance, preventing the owner and employees from accessing the establishment.
The pharmacy is reportedly owned by a Hindu individual. However, further details regarding the owner’s identity, the identities of those accused and the precise motive behind the alleged occupation have not yet been established.

The victims are seeking appropriate intervention to recover control of the pharmacy and ensure accountability for those allegedly involved in the attack and forced occupation.
