Two BBA graduates arrested for road rage assault and vandalism near Rajiv Chowk
Two men were arrested on Saturday for allegedly assaulting a commuter and vandalising his car during a road rage incident near Rajiv Chowk in Gurgaon. The confrontation reportedly began after a dispute over giving way on the main road.
The accused, identified as Parth and Paras, both 22, are residents of Vipul World at Sector 48, Fazilpur. According to the Gurgaon police, both men are Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) graduates.
According to the complaint first filed at the Naharpur Rupa police post, the incident began while the complainant was driving from Sohna Road toward Rajiv Chowk. He alleged that a Scorpio SUV, being driven by the accused in a reckless and zigzag manner, narrowly missed colliding with his car. The accused initially blocked the complainant’s vehicle and verbally abused him.
Though the victim managed to drive away, the accused intercepted him again near Rajiv Chowk by parking their SUV directly in front of his car.
Gurgaon police spokesperson ASI Sandeep Kumar said the duo then allegedly used sticks to smash the windows of the complainant’s vehicle. During the attack, the victim sustained injuries to his face from shattered glass and was struck on the shoulder with a stick. The accused also allegedly threatened him with dire consequences.
Following the complaint, a case was registered at the Sadar police station. A police team tracked down and arrested the two accused within a few hours of the incident on Saturday.
During interrogation, the accused admitted to the crime, stating that an argument had broken out after the complainant allegedly refused to give way to their vehicle. Investigators have also seized the Scorpio SUV used in the commission of the crime.
A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, where the complainant, who filmed from inside his car, is heard screaming for help from bystanders. Police confirmed that further legal proceedings and investigations are currently underway.
