Karachi Bakery in Hyderabad is being vandalised — but for the record, the owners are Rajesh Ramnani and Harish Ramnani! Wish this anger was shown at the border instead. #IndiaPakistanConflict pic.twitter.com/tKDGNVvmi8

Police File Case, Launch Investigation

The vandalism occurred at the Shamshabad branch of Karachi Bakery. Inspector K. Balaraju of RGI Airport Police Station stated that no bakery staff were harmed and there was no significant damage. Police arrived at the scene shortly after the incident and dispersed the mob.

Previous Protests

This is not the first protest against Karachi Bakery. Last week, during the peak of the conflict, protestors were seen hoisting the Indian flag at the Banjara Hills branch of the bakery.

Bakery Manager: We Cannot Be Called Pakistani

While Karachi Bakery takes its name from Karachi, Pakistan, it is run by an Indian family, descendants of those who migrated to Hyderabad during the partition. Established in 1953 in Hyderabad’s Mojamjahi Market, the bakery’s manager stated, “We are an Indian establishment. We cannot be called Pakistani.”

Branches Across the Country

Karachi Bakery has branches in several cities, including Delhi, Bengaluru, and Chennai. It has 24 branches in Hyderabad alone. Its most popular baked goods are fruit biscuits and Osmania biscuits. Previously, the bakery owners, Rajesh and Harish Ramnani, issued a statement requesting protection from Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. Police say the bakery was also vandalised during the Pulwama attack in 2019.
