Overview
- Police registered a case after the dhaba owner filed a complaint, naming more than 20 people including Hemant Sharma, the Hindu Raksha Dal youth‑wing district president, in what officials say happened on Monday.
- The owner told police that over two dozen people entered the roadside non‑vegetarian dhaba, removed and burned signboards, damaged property and assaulted employees while threatening that the outlet would not be allowed on the Kawad Yatra route.
- The eatery sits near Sisona village on the Delhi–Dehradun national highway in the area covered by Chapar police station, and the owner reported losses and worker injuries to support the complaint.
- Times of India reporting says police arrested three people including Hemant Sharma and invoked sections for rioting, criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt, while the wider investigation remains under way.
- The incident highlights recurring disputes over vendors and religious processions on Kanwar/Kawad routes and could prompt closer police oversight of procession paths and vendor permits in the district.
