Gurgaon: A man on his way back home was allegedly chased for several kilometres, cornered at a busy traffic signal and attacked after a dispute over overtaking. By the time the assault ended, his car windows had been smashed, his face was bloodied, and stunned commuters had gathered around the wreckage.Abhishek Chaudhary, a resident of CR Park in Delhi, had come to Gurgaon for a meeting on Sohna Road and was heading back when the confrontation began.According to his complaint, a Scorpio trailing his MG Windsor repeatedly tried to overtake and cut into his lane as both vehicles moved towards Delhi. Abhishek told police he continued driving within traffic rules and did not give way.That, police said, triggered the confrontation.The SUV driver allegedly tried to force Abhishek to stop by blocking his path. He managed to move ahead, but the vehicle kept chasing him through traffic. The pursuit continued up to Rajiv Chowk, one of the city’s busiest junctions.At the red light, with nowhere to move, Abhishek’s car came to a halt. That is when the SUV occupants got out, surrounded his vehicle and began smashing its front windscreen and side windows with a stick.Police said the accused also tried to physically assault him during the attack. Abhishek suffered injuries to his face and was later taken to a hospital, where his medico-legal case was prepared.The attack, carried out in broad daylight, drew the attention of passersby. As a crowd began gathering and Abhishek started recording the scene on his phone, the attackers fled.Before they escaped, Abhishek managed to note down the SUV’s registration number — HR98U/0077 — and handed it over to police. He later posted a video online, seeking strict action against the “goons”.A team from Naharpur Rupa police post and Sadar police station traced and arrested two suspects within hours. They were identified as Parth (22) and Paras (22), both residents of Vipul World in Sector 48 and BBA graduates.“During questioning, it emerged that the argument began after the complainant allegedly did not give way to their vehicle. Following the altercation, they attacked him,” police spokesperson Sandeep Turan said.Police said the Scorpio used in the incident has been recovered.
