Mumbai, Sep 17 (PTI) A shopkeeper and his two aides were arrested for allegedly assaulting a 36-year-old police personnel at Byculla in central Mumbai following an argument over money, an official has said.
The incident took place on Sunday morning at Dockyard Grain Store located near Dockyard Road, he said.
“The victim, an official posted at Tardeo police station, had gone to purchase groceries and household items. After buying the goods, the shopkeeper told him that he does not have a change to return the remaining amount, following which the police personnel went to another shop, got the change and made the payment to the shopkeeper,” the official said.
