It's quite astonishing how seemingly trivial issues can escalate into intense conflicts. A rather unexpected showdown unfolded in Uttar Pradesh between a Golgappa (Panipuri) vendor and a customer. The trigger? The customer's dissatisfaction with receiving just 7 Panipuris for a 10-rupee note. The situation took a dramatic turn when the customer, identified as Kishor Kumar, physically lifted the vendor, Ram Sevak, and engaged in a physical altercation right there on the street. This incident unfolded in Hamirpur, near Akil Tiraha, and was recorded by an onlooker, as reported by India Dot Com.
The video made its way onto the platform X (formerly known as Twitter) through an account with the username @gharkekalesh. The caption accompanying the video read, "Conflict between a Golgappa seller and Customer over 10rs for just 7 golgappa?"

The video swiftly gained attention, sparking various reactions. Many shared their opinions, suggesting that receiving seven pieces for ten rupees wasn't unreasonable, and they shared examples of the higher prices of this beloved Indian snack in their own localities.
One of the users wrote that they only get 6 panipuri’s in their city for Rs 30 and getting 7 panipuri’s for Rs 10 is a great deal. “humare yaha to 30 ke 6 milte hain, 10 ke 7 to bauht badiyan hain.”
