Enraged locals and family members attacked a local medical store, ransacking the premises after blaming the shop for supplying pills that allegedly led to the young man's sudden demise. Police rushed to the spot to control the volatile situation and launched a thorough investigation.
Vandalism at the Medical Store

Father's Allegations and Police Probe
