A local Samajwadi Party leader and his nephew have been booked for allegedly manhandling his neighbour over parking-related dispute in Indira Nagar locality here, police said today.

The FIR was yesterday registered against Siddiqui and Saifu under sections 452 (assault or wrongful restraint), 323 (voluntary causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) of IPC, they said.
