Sometimes even a minor issue can escalate into a serious confrontation. A similar incident unfolded inside a train pantry, where a dispute over Rs 5 turned into a physical altercation between a manager and an employee. The situation erupted after an argument over the price of a water bottle.
According to reports, the employee charged a customer Rs 20 for a water bottle that cost Rs 15. When the customer realised he had been overcharged, he immediately complained to the pantry manager. The manager, angered by the accusation, began assaulting the employee in front of passengers. The video of the incident, which later surfaced on social media, left viewers stunned at how a simple complaint escalated into a major fight.
