Five persons were injured in a brawl and shooting over plying of trucks here, the police said on Thursday.
The incident took place on Wednesday night when 39-year-old Harpal, a resident of Vasant Kunj area in south Delhi, asked Vinod Khatri not to ply trucks carrying building materials through the colony as it may damage the road.
Khatri later in the night returned with his son and around 15 others equipped with sticks, rods and guns. They assaulted Harpal and tried to shoot him, the police said.
Harpal's tenants, who had come to rescue him, were also attacked, said the police.
"It has not been established whether the injuries involve shooting. We are waiting for the medical examination results," a senior police officer said.
