An angry fan allegedly assaulted a shopkeeper in south Delhi for switching the television off while an Indian Premier League (IPL) match was in progress on Wednesday. Police later arrested the person.
According to police, Govind Lal, of Sunlight Colony in Kilokri village, was watching the match on Wednesday night, when he got in an argument with Belu Gandhi who told Govind Lal not to turn off the television.
