Residents of a village here have been on the warpath since the arrest of two sisters for allegedly stealing Rs 800 from the cash box of a restaurant at a resort owned by SP leader Azam Khan. According to the police, the girls, Ayesha, 24 and Nisha, 30, went to the restaurant at Mandakini Humsafar Resort at Jauhar University Road, Rampur for coffee, and stole Rs 800 from the cash register. Residents of Pasiyapari-Shumali village however protested the arrest, saying that the girls, who live in the village, were not the type to go to restaurants for coffee.
