A Bangladesh-origin chef at a curry restaurant in Wales was declared not guilty over an allegation of assaulting an unsatisfied diner by throwing chili powder on his face, reports Press Trust of India. A jury at Merthyr Crown Court produced the verdict after finding him innocent of the charges on Saturday. “I ran to get the chili powder because I wanted to get it before he [Evans] grabbed me,” he said. According to a local newspaper, Kamrul said that he had thrown the chili powder at Evans’ face in self-defense, as Evans followed him to the doorway of the kitchen and started shouting at him. After the attack, Evans doubled up in pain, and was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment.
