GURGAON: A Delhi resident was injured after two men allegedly chased his car from Sohna Road to Rajiv Chowk, surrounded his vehicle at a traffic signal and smashed its windscreen and side windows following a dispute over overtaking on Saturday. The victim had come to Sohna Road for a meeting and was returning home when the incident took place. According to the complaint, another car driver, who was travelling behind him, repeatedly attempted to overtake his MG Windsor (DL 3EV 7707) and cut him off while they were heading towards Delhi. Abhishek told police that he continued driving according to traffic rules and did not give way to the vehicle. The complainant alleged that the other driver then tried to stop him by positioning his SUV in front of his car. Abhishek managed to move ahead and continued driving, but the occupants of the SUV allegedly kept following him. The chase continued until Rajiv Chowk, one of the city’s busiest intersections. According to the complaint, as soon as Abhishek’s vehicle stopped at the traffic signal due to a red light, the occupants of the SUV surrounded his car. The accused allegedly got out of their vehicle and attacked the car with a stick. Police said the front windscreen and side windows of the vehicle were damaged in the incident. The complainant also alleged that the accused attempted to assault him during the attack. The incident took place in the middle of the road during daytime and drew the attention of commuters and people in the vicinity. As passers-by and other members of the public began gathering near the spot, and the victim started recording them, the accused fled in their vehicle before they could be apprehended, leaving the victim with blood on his face. Abhishek sustained injuries during the incident and later underwent a medical examination. Police said his medico-legal case (MLC) was conducted. Before the accused fled, the victim managed to note down the registration number of their vehicle — HR 98 U 0077 — and shared the details with police. Abhishek also posted the video on social media, seeking strict action against the “goons”. In the video, the victim said that he did not give them way, which triggered them, and they attacked him. He also sought help from onlookers and asked them to catch the SUV occupants. After being informed, a police team from Police Post Naharpur Rupa and Police Station Sadar arrested two suspects within a few hours of the incident. The accused were identified as Parth and Paras, both residents of Vipul World, Sector-48, Gurgaon. Both accused are 22 years old and BBA graduates. “During police interrogation, it was revealed that an argument broke out between the complainant and the accused after the complainant allegedly did not give way to their vehicle. Following the altercation, the accused attacked the victim. The Scorpio vehicle used in the commission of the crime has been recovered from the possession of the accused,” Sandeep Turan, police spokesperson, said.
