A 33-year-old mechanical engineer of a private company was allegedly thrashed by a B.Tech student on Thursday evening in Jangpura area.
The accused has been arrested. The incident had occurred when the victim, Deepak, who works for a private company in Noida was going towards Jangpura and he stopped his motorcycle at a red light near Sahi Hospital. “Deepak was waiting at the traffic signal when a speeding Swift stopped behind his vehicle and the car driver, Abhinav Singh, started honking. When Deepak looked back, Singh asked him to move away,” a senior police officer said, adding that Deepak had signalled to wait for the green signal. However, Singh continued honking and Deepak preferred not to pay heed to it. The car driver stepped out of his vehicle and started arguing with Deepak. Their argument soon turned ugly and the car driver slapped him a couple of times. When Deepak tried to shield himself with his helmet, the accused snatched his helmet and attacked him on his head. Deepak sustained severe injury in his head and he started bleeding. Singh was going to drop his family members at Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station from where they had to board a train.
