Police said the victim, Arpan Tiwari, is a resident of west Delhi’s Uttam Nagar and works at a private company in Noida Sector 62.

Tiwari told cops, “Around 4.10am on Tuesday, while I was returning home, an SUV honked and flashed its dipper at my car from behind. I pulled to the side, but the SUV overtook me and parked right in front of my Baleno near Sector 62 roundabout. There were three men in the car, who first hurled abuse at me and then assaulted me,” reads the FIR.

Tiwari claimed, “The suspects fled soon after. I suffered injuries on my face and two of my teeth had been broken.”

Police said Tiwari dialled emergency helpline number, and a police response vehicle (PRV) rushed to the spot.

“Subsequently, Tiwari’s medical examination was conducted, and a case under sections 126(2) (obstructing path), 117(2) (voluntarily causing grievous hurt), 352 (criminal intimidation), and 115 (causing hurt) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered against the three at Sector 58 police station,” said Amit Kumar, SHO, Sector 58.

Kumar added that Tiwari managed to note down the offending vehicle’s registration number, and efforts to trace it are underway.

“It was revealed that the SUV occupants were angered after Tiwari first overtook their car, leading to the incident. We have checked the CCTV cameras near the area but the incident could not be captured in any of them,” said a police officer, requesting anonymity.
