VIJAYAWADA: A construction worker attacked a biryani vendor with an iron rod after he allegedly gave him less chicken pieces. The incident happened in Kodur village under Vuyyur mandal of Krishna district. The issue came to light on Monday after the injured man was admitted to a hospital.
According to Kodur sub-inspector P Nagaraju, the injured was identified as Shaik Jilani Basha alias Babji. He sold biryani on a vehicle at Masjid Centre for a living.
