Youth Blank Fires After Heated Argument at Dhaba In Assam
Guwahati: In a horrific incident, a youth opened two to three rounds of fire in the blank after a violent disagreement between workers of a roadside restaurant/dhaba named “Zaika” in Assam’s Dibrugarh town on Tuesday night.
Kaushik Gogoi has been recognised as the young man who is accused of firing a blank shot into the air.
It is learned that Gogoi who visited the restaurant for dinner was accompanied by a second young person whose identity has not been ascertained yet.
According to reports, the incident occurred near the Dibrugarh bypass.
Speaking to the media, the employee of the restaurant (not willing to be named) said, “Both the youths denied paying their food bill as they had no cash and were carrying only debit or credit card.

The worker further reported that the youths had verbally insulted him and had stoned the roadside eatery.
