Footwear Showroom Fracas: Allegations Fly as Video Goes Viral

A viral video depicts Bajrang Dal activists causing chaos at a Dehradun footwear shop, labeling Muslim managers as 'Jihadi' over alleged harassment claims against Hindu staff. The state leader cited unpaid overtime and false theft accusations. Police await formal complaints to investigate.

A new viral video has sparked controversy on social media, showing Bajrang Dal activists causing disruption at a Dehradun footwear showroom. The group accused two Muslim managers of harassing Hindu employees, claiming biased treatment and writing 'Jihadi' on their name tags.

The incident occurred on Thursday at the showroom on Rajpur Road. Vikas Verma, the Bajrang Dal's Uttarakhand convenor who led the disruption, alleged that Hindu employees were made to work unpaid overtime and were wrongfully accused of theft to slash their salaries.

When asked if police were notified, Verma argued that previous similar complaints went unaddressed. Meanwhile, SP (City) Pramod Kumar noted that police have not received any formal complaints yet but assured that action would be taken if a report is filed.
