Later, the shopkeepers lodged a written complaint against the woman, following which a non-cognisable offence (NCO) was registered against her.


According to reports a senior official said that the stall was not erected in the doctor’s residence but opposite to it. Every year, few stalls are set up during this time, the cop further added. The police said that they are investigating the incident, while the doctor has been charged under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including Sections 427 (mischief causing damage) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace).
