Viral video: KFC staffers, customer exchange blows in Kerala; netizens react

A violent fight between a customer and staff members at a Kerala Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) outlet has gone viral on social media. The video of the brawl raised concerns about rising cases of violence, abuse, and arguments over small issues in public places.
In the video, a customer wearing a black shirt can be seen indulging in a heated argument with the KFC staff members. The matter escalated when he hit one of the staff members from behind. Within a second, the staff member and his fellow colleagues retaliated with multiple blows at the customer.
Things didn’t improve even when one of the bystanders tried to intervene and stop the staff members from beating the customer. The video was shared by the social media page ‘Ghar ke Kalesh’. Mint couldn’t independently verify the exact location of the video. The exact date and time of the incident remain undiscovered.
