Tailor stabs customer for refusing to pay Rs 30 for pant alteration

Mumbai: An Andheri-based tailor was arrested for allegedly attacking a customer after the latter refused to pay him Rs 30 extra for altering a pair of pants, police said on Tuesday.

Harish Takar had agreed at Rs 100 for the alteration but then demanded Rs 130 when customer Rohit Yadav arrived to take his trousers, which the latter refused, leading to an argument, an official said.

”After Yadav gave Rs 100 and started leaving, Takar followed him and stabbed and injured him with a scissor. The tailor has been arrested for attempt to murder and other offences,” the Andheri police station official said.
