Restaurant Guests Kill Waiter After Finding Rice In Their Mutton Soup

Police in India's Maharashtra state are on the hunt for two individuals accused of killing a hotel waiter earlier this week.

The individuals, one of whom identified as Vijay Waghire, attacked staff of a hotel located in the Pimple Saudagar area of Pune Tuesday night while the two were drunk, Times Now News reported.

Waghire and his unidentified companion allegedly became angry after finding rice in the mutton soup served to them and complained of the service they received.

Both hit the head of a 19-year-old waiter at the hotel, Mangesh Poste, during the attack, according police assistant sub-inspector Dilip Pawar. The accused also injured two other members of the hotel's staff.

Police have filed a murder case against the accused under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

Waghire and his companion are currently on the run, and authorities have launched a hunt to catch them.

In a similar incident that happened in Tennessee in June, a fast-food restaurant manager shot a customer with a handgun over a disturbance.

The manager, 36-year-old Sherrika Starnes, was arrested over the shooting on June 22 in the parking lot of the Checkers restaurant located along 829 North West Broad Street.

Two brothers, whose names were not disclosed by police, had ordered and paid for food at the establishment at around 1 p.m. that day.

However, one of the brothers got into an argument with Checkers employees after complaining that his order took too long to be served, according to a preliminary investigation.

While the argument was happening, another unnamed man started causing problems in the restaurant's parking lot and threw rocks at the brothers.

Starnes, who was the branch manager, yelled at the men and asked them to leave before going outside the establishment with a handgun.

One of the brothers allegedly threw a drink at Starnes, who fired one round at him. The brothers then ran next door to a motel and waited for authorities.

No one got injured in the incident, police said.

Starnes later turned herself in to police to talk to detectives.

She faced aggravated assault charges over the incident and was scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 22.
