The victim, Kailash Sharma, a resident of Sector Alpha 2 in Greater Noida, was admitted to a private hospital with a fracture in his right hand.

Sharma works as a contractor with the Noida Authority. On Wednesday night, he was going from Noida to his home in Greater Noida in his Maruti Vitara Brezza car. “A speeding Swift Dzire came from the opposite direction and hit my vehicle. I got down from my car to enquire when four suspects caught hold of me and started beating without any provocation,” he said

Sharma said he received a fracture on his right hand and sustained injuries on his head and legs. “Locals informed police and a team soon reached the spot. I was rushed to a private hospital,” he said adding that the incident took place around 200 metres away from the police commissionerate office in Noida.

Rajeev Kumar, station house officer of Sector 39 police station, said Sharma was going from Noida to Greater Noida. “On the way, he had stopped at a station to refuel his car. He then left for home and was taking a U-turn near Sector 108 when another car collided with his vehicle from the front. There were four people in that car and they got into an argument with him. The suspects attacked him with a wooden stick and fled the spot,” he said.
