A brazen robbery attempt in Ahmedabad's Ranip area turned into a shocking spectacle when a woman tried to blind the jewellery shopkeeper with chilli powder. However, the quick-thinking shopkeeper thwarted her plan, rising from his chair to deliver 20 swift slaps to the would-be thief. According to CCTV footage, the incident occurred on November 3, with the woman, face covered with a dupatta, entering the shop as a customer. She then threw the chilli powder in the shopkeeper's direction, but missed her mark. The shopkeeper, seated on a chair, sprang into action, catching the woman off guard and retaliating with a flurry of slaps. The video, which has gone viral on social media, has raised questions about the shopkeeper's actions and the inaction of the authorities. The Ahmedabad Police have initiated an investigation into the incident, despite the shopkeeper refusing to lodge a formal complaint. The police have stated that they met the shopkeeper twice to obtain a statement, but he declined to cooperate. The authorities are now relying on the CCTV footage to identify and apprehend the accused. Viewers discretion advised, as the video contains graphic content.
