This comes less than a week after the same market witnessed a scuffle between two groups on Diwali night, necessitating a PCR to intervene.

The accused, identified as Jagdeep Singh, Gurpreet Singh, Simranjeet Singh, and Akash, all Ropar residents, have been arrested.

According to police, the incident occurred around 6.30 am on Monday, when the accused arrived in a car, bearing registration number PB12AH4522, and started behaving aggressively.

Police said the men, believed to be intoxicated, were drifting the car, harassing workers, and disturbing shopkeepers. When food outlet employee Ramandeep Singh and others confronted them for allegedly trying to run over a dog, the accused turned violent. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera footage showed the men attacking Ramandeep with chairs.

As the situation went out of control, some shopkeepers alerted the police and a PCR team reached the spot. The accused were arrested on the spot and their Toyota Glanza car was seized.

Mataur station house officer (SHO) Amandeep Kamboj said the accused were arrested and produced in court on Tuesday, where police secured their remand period. “We have seized their Glanza car and intensified patrolling in 3B2 market to prevent such late-night disturbances,” he added.
