According to the police, the incident took place when the victim, a resident of Sushant Lok-2, was on his way from Hong Kong Bazar to Marble Market to purchase an earthen pot. As the victim’s car was approaching the Wazirabad crossing, another car coming from the opposite side jumped a traffic signal and blocked his path.

A police official privy to the investigation, requesting anonymity, said, “In the complaint, the victim alleged that when he told them to follow traffic rules, the two men started hurling abuses at him and alighted from their car. They threw punches at the car and smashed the window panes. The victim then threatened to call the police, following which they fled.”

In the FIR, the victim said that to protect himself, he had rolled up the windows of his car.
