Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A team of Bhopal Municipal Corporation on Sunday demolished the house of a listed criminal who had attacked a tea shop operator and his employee on the intervening night of Friday-Saturday, official sources said. Officials added that the listed criminal Arshad Babba had 32 criminal cases registered against him. Hanumanganj police station house officer Mahendra Singh Thakur said that Babba, along with six of his other accomplices, had been to a tea shop located in Vafna Colony situated in Kazi Camp.
All of them asked shop operator Shadab Khan to pay Rs 500. When Khan refused, all of them vandalised the shop and left the spot.
