In an incident of road rage in the capital, a property dealer was brutally assaulted by two men at a petrol pump after his car grazed the autorickshaw they were in, police said on Thursday.
The incident took place on Wednesday around 10.00 p.m when the victim, Saleem Malik, was returning to his residence after visiting an ailing relative in a Lajpat Nagar hospital in south Delhi.
"Malik, who lives in Malviya Nagar, said in his complaint that he saw three inebriated persons in an autorickshaw being driven recklessly.
When his car grazed the autorickshaw, they chased Malik's car for at least two kilometres looking for a chance to attack him, a police officer said.
"When Malik stopped at a petrol pump in Jia Sarai, the two accused pounced on him, dragged him out of his car and bashed him up. They took care to park the autorickshaw outside the petrol pump so that its registration number was not recorded in CCTV cameras," the officer added.
Police are trying to identify the culprits on the basis of CCTV footage.
