They were not ready to leave the store without taking the TV sets with them at the discount price. The police were called to handle the crowd and prevent the stuff at the market.
3-4 TV sets were observed in the carts per person. They refused to leave the store that created a huge mess there. People did not leave even after the late evening.

At the end, the police had to be a little strict to empty the store as the closing time was approaching but still took an extra hour for the same.
This is the result of small mistakes and even if they occured, as shoppers, we must understand such sensitive situations rather than clinging to them. What is your take on that?
