A promotional offer on sarees priced at just Rs 99 created chaos at a mall in Medak district of Telangana on Thursday, prompting mall authorities to call in the police to control the situation.
The mall announced a limited-time offer on sarees at the throwaway price, drawing hundreds of women shoppers. As word spread, more people rushed to the store, creating a stampede-like situation.
With security personnel unable to handle the swelling crowd, the mall management alerted the local police station.
Shoppers scrambled for sarees along with matching jewellery and bangles, making it difficult for the mall staff to manage the situation. The crowd overflowed outside, causing traffic jams on surrounding roads.
Local police were called in to control the frenzy, allowing entry in batches and restoring order. A video of the chaotic scene inside the mall has now gone viral on social media, drawing widespread attention.
