A video clip of the incident circulating on social media showed the men tearing down the board which said ‘Shrinath dosa corner’.

One of the men was heard saying Hindu people will mistakenly come to eat his stall.

Another man was heard in the purported video asking the dosa seller why he was not using a Muslim name for the stall.
