Vadodara Police Order Panipuri Stall Removed After Road Sit-In Over Alleged Short‑Change

Police prioritized restoring order rather than settling the two‑puri dispute.

Overview

  • A woman sat in the middle of a road near Vadodara’s Surasagar, alleging she received four golgappas instead of six for ₹20 and blocking traffic.
  • Officers counselled the protester, escorted her to the police station, and later sent her home as bystanders gathered around the scene.
  • After she warned police about the vendor’s return, officers revisited the spot, found the cart operating again, and ordered its temporary removal.
  • The woman accused the vendor of repeated short‑changing and harassment, while the seller denied cheating, cited 14 years at the location, and claimed he even offered extra pieces.
  • Clips of the confrontation spread widely online with mixed reactions, and reports do not clarify whether the missing two puris were ever provided.
