“Case registered under IPC sections 279 (rash driving in public), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide),” said Ghanshyam Bansal, DCP (west), in a statement on Thursday's incident.

A video of the road rage, meanwhile, is going viral on social media.

According to NDTV, the victim, identified as Harvinder Kohli, was dragged for 500 metres on the bonnet of the car. The altercation, it said citing police, began when Jayaprakash, who is Kohli's friend and was driving a car, honked from behind the accused's vehicle, asking for side.

While the accused did not give side, he was enraged when Jayaprakash overtook the car. In retaliation, he blocked Jayaprakash's path, leading to an argument that quickly turned violent. When the victim tried to intervene, the accused, allegedly on his father's suggestion, rammed the vehicle into Kohli, who managed to hold on to its windshield vipers, but was dragged for half a kilometre.

They were finally chased down by other vehicles, but the father-son duo managed to flee.

Later, the victim accused the police of trying to cover up the incident and forcing him to settle the case. Cops, however, have denied the allegations.
