A canteen owner at a theatre screening Pushpa 2 movie in Gwalior allegedly bit the ear of a man over a dispute about settling the bill for snacks, leading to the registration of a case, police said on Wednesday.
The incident occurred on Sunday when the victim, Shabbir, went to the canteen of Kailash Talkies in Inderganj area during the movie interval to buy food, police said.
An argument broke out between Shabbir and the canteen owner Raju, who accused the former of not paying money, an official said.
The heated exchange escalated into a fight with Raju and his three associates thrashing Shabbir. Raju bit one of the ears of Shabbir, as per the FIR.
Additional SP Niranjan Sharma said the argument over the payment of food items caused a fight.

Shabbir lodged a complaint with the police on Monday. A case was registered against three persons on Tuesday based on Shabbir’s medical report, he said, adding that further investigation was underway.
