Vendor shot at for serving omelette without onions Onion shortage is making people see red these days. A roadside vendor in Etah district of Uttar Pradesh was shot at on Monday because he did not garnish a customer’s omelette with onions, while another was beaten for using radish instead. Eyewitnesses said eight youths came to a roadside vendor’s stall on Sunday evening and ordered omelettes. One of them, Hemant Khurana, a hardcore criminal, started abusing the vendor, Deepu Kashyap, and complained his omelette did not have onions. Khurana then pulled out a country-made pistol and fired at the vendor who slumped to the ground after the bullet grazed his forehead. The accused, however, fled from the spot. On Kashyap’s complaint, an FIR has been filed against Khurana and his accomplices at Aliganj Police Station. Kashyap was taken to the Aligarh Medical College, where his condition was said to be stable.
