Kolhapur Video: LGBTQ Members' Argument With Shop Owner Escalates Into Police Scuffle

A viral video from Kolhapur has been surfacing on social media, where members of the LGBTQ community have been observed arguing with a shop owner over some offerings, and the matter gradually escalates when the police intervene.

Allegedly, one of the members of the LGBTQ community is inebriated condition and is seen abusing and cursing the shop owners.
