The accused was identified as Gaurav Kumar, a resident of Empire Estate in Sultanpur in Delhi on MG Road. He was arrested in Delhi, police said, adding he was a property dealer.

Police said the incident took place at around 7.35am on January 1 when Gaurav allegedly drove to DLF Phase-I and rammed his friend Aditya Kapoor’s Toyota Camry that was parked in front of the latter’s residence. The act followed a petty dispute that broke out between the two while partying on New Year’s Eve in Delhi.

Sandeep Turan, public relations officer of the Gurugram Police, said Aditya and Gaurav were school friends. “Their group was partying on the night of December 31 when a dispute took place between them. Aditya had rung Gaurav multiple times on the morning of January 1, which had irked him,” Turan said.

Police said the Swift Dzire car used in the incident, along with the accused’s driving licence and vehicle registration certificate, was seized during the investigation.
