Road rage: 2 assaulted in south Delhi


A 28-year-old man and his relative were allegedly thrashed and stabbed near the Vasant Vihar police station in south Delhi on Sunday night. The victims have been identified as ‎Tarilung Kaurnita and Titus from Nagaland. Four men have been arrested, said cops.
The victims live in Munirka and had stepped out around 2.30am to bring a friend home from the main road. Kaurnita and his brother-in-law left home on foot and were returning with their friend when two men asked them to move aside at Baburam Chowk. The victims said that though he got to a side, the men, who seemed drunk, asked them to move further. This led to an argument and the two were attacked.


 The argument soon turned nasty when two more men arrived at the spot and attacked Titus with a brick. He was hit on the head and started to bleed. The men then targeted Tarilung and stabbed him with a sharp edged weapon in the abdomen and thighs. He was also punched and kicked several times.
The victims raised alarm after which neighbors and passersby gathered at the spot. The attackers then fled sensing trouble.
Tarilung and Titus were taken to Safdarjung Hospital. While Titus was discharged, Tarilung had sustained severe injuries in his eyes and stomach. He is recuperating and out of danger. The cops too were informed about the incident and they rushed to the spot. A case under section 324 (Voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons) has been registered and police have identified the accused.
The incidents of road rage are on the rise in the capital. On March 25, an 18-year-old boy was shot at by the Personal Security Officer (PSO) of a south Delhi businessman in an incident of road rage in Dhaula Kuan area. The accused PSO, Somdev, 35, was arrested. The boy and his friend had indulged in an argument with the businessman and his PSO over rash driving by the latter.
On November 4 last year, a 53-year-old man was assaulted by a man after their vehicles brushed past each other. The incident was reported from Safadrjung Enclave area in south Delhi. In the last week of October, two back-to-back incidents of road rage were reported in Vasant Kunj area of south Delhi.
