CALANGUTE: A minor scuffle took a violent turn when two persons were injured in an attack on a shack owner at Calangute on Sunday afternoon.

On their arrival, they allegedly assaulted the staff of another shack run by a resident of Calangute over the same matter. The gang also damaged chairs and other items in the shack.
At this point, the locals rushed to the rescue of the
shack owner and his staff and a free for all began at the shack.
