A dhaba worker was murdered while another was injured in an attack by seven persons, including a juvenile, on Wednesday night. Six suspects have been detained by the police. According to sources, the suspects arrived at “Punjabi Dhaba” in Sector 24 and ordered for food.

Dhaba owner Sushil Kumar said it was around 11.30 pm they were closing for the night when four persons arrived and ordered for food.

They paid Rs 60 for a dish but workers told the owner that they couldn’t serve it as the dhaba was closed. An argument ensued and the four customers left the scene after a while.
