Pakistani diplomat who was allegedly thrashed by a biker on Monday evening strangely met with an accident later while going back to the High Commission.
The second incident took place at Moti Bagh flyover around 1. 10 am when a speeding truck hit his vehicle in RK Puram area on the intervening night of June 3 and 4, when he was returning from AIIMS Trauma Centre.
Syed Zirgham Riza, first secretary (trade) of the Pakistan High Commission and his driver, suffered minor bruises in a scuffle that broke out after his car allegedly hit a motorbike in Ber Sarai area of South Delhi near JNU campus on Monday. Based on his complaint, two separate cases were registered and three persons, including a woman pillion rider were arrested on Tuesday.
"We were heading towards Pakistan High Commission, Chankyapuri but our vehicle was hit on right side by a speeding truck in mid of Moti Bagh flyover," Riza told the police in his complaint. The complainant Riza said that his driver tried to stop him but after hitting our vehicle, the errant truck driver turned around and managed to escape from the spot towards Rao Tula Ram flyover. "A call to the police control was made at 1.30 am and after receiving the call, local police rushed to the spot. The diplomat noted down the number and informed the police," the officer added. After registering the case under Section 279 (rash and negligence driving) of the Indian Penal Code at R K Puram police station, south district police traced the errant driver and arrested him from Sanjay Gandhi transport Nagar in Samaypur Badli and seized his truck.
Police sources said the diplomat told the police that it was not a co-incident and the first incident was not an accident but it was pre-planned assault. Meanwhile, in the first road rage incident, the motorcyclist and a woman pillion rider were arrested for allegedly getting into a scuffle with a Pakistani diplomat.
