Mumbai: An eight-year-old girl suffered serious burn injuries when boiling hot oil fell on her during a fight between two puri-bhaaji vendors in suburban Kurla in Mumbai, the police said on Saturday.

Waseem Khalil Ansari (31) and Mustakeem Hakim Ansari, who are related, were arrested following the incident, said a police official.

The Ansaris run a food stall in Kasaiwada area. Two days ago, when Aafseen Sheikh (8) and Munawwar Ali (76) were waiting in front of their stall to buy puri-bhaaji, the Ansaris suddenly started fighting with each other over some domestic issue.

One of them banged against the kadhai (wok), and boiling hot oil fell on Aafseen and Ali.
