Visakhapatnam: Wine shop set on fire as workers deny a man a liquor bottle

In a shocking incident reported under the PM Palem Police Station limits in Visakhapatnam, a man set fire to a government wine shop near Kommadi Junction. As per the police reports, the accused person, G Madhu, resorted to this criminal act after the shop workers told him the brand he wanted was unavailable. This incident occurred on Sunday, 12 November 2023.

The PM Palem PS officials stated that Madhu visited the wine shop in an inebriated condition. The unavailability of the brand he wanted at the government-run wine shop sparked an argument between him and the workers. In a fit of rage, he collected the petrol in his two-wheeler into a bottle and poured it on the shop. He then set it ablaze, panicking the workers, who ran out of the shop instantly.
