Customers ran helter-skelter to save their lives. We also ran for cover and took shelter in a mall,’ said a food stall owner. Police rushed to the spot and started an investigation into the incident. So far 22 miscreants have been arrested and raids are on to nab others, said a police source, adding that the incident was consequence of an altercation.
