The police said that a call was received at the Amar colony police station about the dispute, which turned out to be a parking issue between two residents of B block in Sant Nagar.

The viral video shows the accused Daljeet Singh and four of his family members, thrashing the couple with a wooden log and hurling abuses at them. In the 45-second video, the family first attacked the husband and when the wife attempted to intervene, she was also assaulted.
