The situation escalated into a violent altercation involving guns and sticks, leading to the arrest of three individuals.

According to a report by India Today, the incident captured on CCTV, took place at 9 am in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad on Saturday when Aadhar Chaudhary, a brick kiln businessman, was on a call and unable to respond to the delivery agent’s call.
