As per police, Dhiman had filed a complaint at the Phase 11 police station about his sister’s stolen car, which he spotted outside a shop during a work-related visit to Ramdarbar. Dhiman tried to call the police and record video of the parked vehicle, when the owner of the shop, identified as Sumit Khural, stepped out with his brother and started hitting his vehicle and threatening him.
Later, on his way to the police beatbox, he was again stopped by the shop owner and his accomplices, Amit Khural, Main Pal Khural and two others.
As per the available information, the weapon-wielding group of men broke the windshield of the complainant’s car and started beating him and his uncle before giving them death threats.
The victims were eventually rescued by Police Control Room staff. Both men have sustained serious injuries on the head.
