A group of Indians vandalised restaurant in Sheffield, England and harassed its staff for allegedly serving beef on the menu, it emerged on Sunday.

Described by locals as a troubling act of religious intolerance, the incident has raised concerns about communal harmony in the city.

Although the altercation occurred a few months ago, it recently gained attention after a video went viral on social media, prompting widespread condemnation.

The restaurant owner, Rahimullah Khan, shared details of the incident in an interview with Geo News, shedding light on the events that unfolded.

“Indian nationals arrived at the restaurant under the influence of alcohol,” Khan explained. “After dining, they created a scene at the counter, accusing us of mixing lamb and beef."

"The management told them beef is not even on our menu," he added.

Khan further revealed that the intoxicated individuals escalated the situation by attacking a staff member and causing significant damage to the restaurant’s glass and other property.

The local police intervened, arresting those involved in the disturbance. An inquiry into the case is ongoing confirmed the restaurant owner.

The incident has sparked concern within the Sheffield community, with residents and community leaders labelling it an alarming example of religious intolerance.
