Hyderabad, January 1: A family including two women were attacked and brurally assaulted allegedly by the staff of the popular Grand Hotel in Hyderabad's Abids. While the incident took place on New Year's Eve, the video surfaced on Monday, January 1. According to reports, an altercation between the family and the hotel staff broke out over the quality of biryani.

One Sumit Singh lodged a complaint in connection with the brawl that took place at the Grand Hotel in Hyderabad. He said that his family had ordered Mutton biryani.
