Hyd cops clarify on shop timings

The Hyderabad Police issued a clarification on closing time for shops after a video of a police official threatening traders with lathi-charge went viral.
The authority took to X and said, “The recent social media news making rounds that city police are closing shops by 10.30 or 11 pm are totally misleading. The shops and establishments will open/close as per the already existing rules only. Hence, the same may be noted by all.”
Earlier, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi demanded that the shops be allowed to remain open until at least 12 midnight and said that big metros across the country allow shops to be open at night.
