Oz Indian restaurant owners deny curry war behind fire-bombings | Two Sydney-based Indian restaurant owners have denied speculation of a curry war being the reason behind the fire-bombing of two food vans on Monday morning. 'Maya Da Dhaba' owner
Ajay Raj, whose food vans on Cleveland Street were set on fire, said: "There are
a lot of Indian restaurants co-existing along here, but we have nothing against
anyone, and, they have nothing against us." 'Mehrey da Dhaba' owner Mehra Yogesh
has also denied any feud. Surry Hills Police have said they are on the hunt for
the arsonist who was behind the incident. They also said that CCTV footage showed
a person approaching the vans seconds before they caught fire. Surry Hills Police
said they believe the vans were deliberately set alight, and are now investigating
whether the attack was racially motivated or an act of retaliation, following
the July 5 firebombing of the Copper Tiffin restaurant. The Copper Tiffin and
the Maya Da Dhaba restaurants are located side by side, and local residents claim
there is competition between both outlets. "We're still in the early stages of
the investigation, but it's a matter of course that we look at links between the
two," The Daily Telegraph quoted Detective Inspector Leanne McCusker, as saying. |
