An all-out brawl broke out in UP’s Baghpat recently when two chaat vendors fighting over the issue of attracting customers to their respective shops turned into a free-for-all fracas straight out of a movie. Someone caught the whole thing on camera, and it looks like a deleted scene from Gangs of Wasseypur. Check out the video below.

The video got a range of responses from people on Twitter. There is a lot to digest, after all.
Lessons, @WWE. This is how it’s done. The Royal rumble!

Massive respect to mehndi hair wale uncle… What a tackle at 00:04….The sheer suddenness of the move, the unexpected nature of the move, the unpredictability of the move….

Real rock ‘n roll
We knew Baghpat’s known for Chaudhary Charan Singh and Chatpati (spicy) Chaat, but this is taking it to another level! https://t.co/UMGYD1bvbs
Bollywood already shifted to Yogiji’s Baghpat!

Probably the wrong thing to point out but the dude who filmed this did his job wonderfully.
