Devyani arrest row: Indian protesters attack Dominos outlet in Mumbai

Mumbai: Activists of the Republican Party of India (RPI), a small political group, ransacked a Dominos Pizza outlet in a Mumbai suburb today, demanding a ban on US goods until Washington apologises for the arrest of  Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade in New York that has touched off a furore.

The RPI, which carried out the attack, sent pictures to media organisations showing a broken glass door at the outlet. The party said it wanted the United States to drop charges against the Indian diplomat. Reuters
