Kolkata: A middle-aged worker of a roadside eatery in central Kolkata met with a brutal end after he was pushed into a huge cauldron of steaming curry by an angry customer.

The 42-year-old Lalan Singh died of his burn injuries at a city hospital on Thursday.

According to a Hindustan Times report, Singh had been working at the eatery located close to the Kolkata Police headquarters at Lalbazar.

The incident took place on Sunday. Singh hailed from Muzaffarpur in Bihar.
