However, two of the attackers were overpowered by the employees and were handed over to the police.

Another round of argument occurred over the bill which amounted to Rs 575. This resulted in heated arguments and the youth attacked the workers with sticks.
Noticing the commotion, the pump manager and other employees intervened and reportedly tried to stop the accused. Enraged over this, the youths punched and attacked them with sticks, one of them hit an employee on his head and he collapsed. The attackers then tried to escape from the spot but two of them were overpowered by the pump employees and handed over to the police.
