February 29, 2016 23:52

An office-bearer of the youth wing of Shiv Sena was today arrested for allegedly assaulting a shop assistant for refusing to provide free 'vada-pavs'.

The incident took place in suburban Vile Parle (West) on Saturday but the FIR was registered today.

The accused, Sunil Mahadik, allegedly hit Chetan Geveriya (28), who works at Trupti Sweet and Farsan Mart on D J Road, with a bamboo stick, police said.

A day ago, Mahadik had sent another person to the shop demanding 100 vada pavs, a popular street-food here, free of cost. Chetan told him that they didn't have so much stock, so the person left.

The next day, Mahadik allegedly called Geveriya on his mobile phone and abused him, and said he must hand over 100 vada pavs immediately to a person he was sending.

Geveria said Mahadik should speak to the owner of the shop first. Irked, Mahadik himself went to the shop and hit Geveria with a bamboo stick and threatened to kill him, police said.
