Brawl over extra coffee cup

According to a report in India Today, the incident took place around 6:50 PM on Monday, when the group visited the coffee shop and purchased coffee. Shortly after receiving their order, they demanded an additional cup, presumably to share the drink. However, when the staff member informed them that company policy did not permit handing out free cups and asked them to buy another beverage instead, the situation quickly escalated.

In a video that is now viral across the social media, the group allegedly began hurling verbal abuse at the employee. Eyewitnesses said the men used foul language before one of them slapped the staffer on the back of his head. The assault intensified as others joined in and one reportedly punched the victim in the face, while another kicked him in the stomach, leaving him visibly shaken and injured. The brawl further escalated as people in the coffee shop intervened and separated the assaulter from the staffer.
