A shocking incident occurred in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur where a man was allegedly killed by a few miscreants for not serving them free 'golgappas.'

As strange as it sounds, the victim was identified as  Prem Chand. A resident of the Chakri area in Kanpur's Safipur town, Prem used to sell golgappas in the area.

His son told his father was beaten up by a local and a few others after he refused to serve them free golgappas.
