New Delhi, March 24 Three individuals, including a minor, have been apprehended for allegedly assaulting a family from Faridabad and vandalizing their car in Sangam Vihar, southeast Delhi, police said on Tuesday.
On Monday, Rampal and his family members were on their way to Kalkaji in a car, but they diverted to G-Block, Sangam Vihar due to road repair work, they said.
The family got into a dispute with a motorcyclist over some issue, and the situation escalated, during which the rider and five to six associates allegedly attacked the car occupants and started damaging the vehicle.
A video, purportedly of the incident, also surfaced on social media, in which a group can be seen dragging a man out of the car and assaulting him, while the women occupants remain seated inside.
In the video, the attackers are also seen hitting the car with rods and sticks, while some locals try to intervene. In one instance, a youth climbs onto the hood and attempts to smash the windshield with his leg.
Two individuals, including Rampal, sustained minor injuries in the incident, the police said, adding that the injured were medically examined and later discharged.
A case has been registered at the Sangam Vihar police station. So far, three accused have been identified, of whom two have been arrested while one minor has been apprehended, the police said.
Efforts are underway to trace and arrest the remaining accused seen in the video, they added.
Further investigation into the matter is in progress, the police said.
