Oldest sweet shop in Delhi closes

A 225-year-old sweet shop in the Indian capital, Delhi, recently shut down after its owner said it was no longer profitable to run it.

Ghantewala sweet shop was set up in 1790, and eight generations of the same family ran the business until it closed.

The last of the owners, Sushant Jain, talked to BBC News about the shop's history, his regret at ending a family tradition, and why there might be a sliver of hope for the future.
