According to the footage, jeweler Soni was alone in his gold and silver shop near Ranip vegetable market when a woman entered posing as a customer. Moments after stepping inside, she attempted to throw chilli powder into Soni’s eyes. The jeweller managed to shield himself in time, preventing the powder from reaching his eyes. Realising her intentions, Soni stood up from behind the counter and confronted her, caught hold of her, and, in a fit of anger, slapped her repeatedly before pushing her out of the shop.
