Both underwent surgery and are stable. Jaswant, who lives in the same colony, was arrested from his home on Friday.An FIR was registered at Kheri Pul police station on Friday under sections 109(1) (attempt to murder) and 126(2) (wrongful restraint) of the BNS, and Section 25 of the Arms Act. Police said the sections may be modified later as the weapon was licensed.Police seized the revolver, seven live cartridges and the accused’s Brezza. He will be produced in court.“The team of Crime Branch Sector 30 took swift action and arrested accused Jaswant. During preliminary questioning, it came to light that in the dispute over giving side to the car, he had fired four rounds from his licensed revolver, in which Prashant and Prince were shot,” police spokesperson SI Yashpal said.Jaswant works as a computer operator at a clinic on Neelam Bata Road, a police officer said. The revolver, the officer added, was licensed in his name.According to the complaint filed by Piyush (18), Prince’s brother, their cousin Prashant was driving the car. Piyush was in the front passenger seat, while Prince and Prashant’s brother-in-law, Tushar, were seated behind. They were travelling to New Delhi Railway Station around 9.20pm. The incident took place barely 100 metres from their house, near Central Bank on Kaccha Khedi Road.“A white Maruti Brezza coming from the opposite direction blocked our way. When Prashant flashed the headlights to seek passage, the driver refused to move aside and allegedly began abusing them while sitting inside the car,” Piyush told TOI.The occupants of the Swift got out to confront the driver, Jaswant, a neighbour who lives two-three lanes away in the same colony.“Jaswant got out carrying a gun and continued abusing them. He then pulled out the revolver, aimed at Prashant’s chest from a distance of less than two feet and fired,” Piyush said.Jaswant then allegedly fired at Prince, hitting him in the neck, before firing two more rounds. One of the bullets was allegedly aimed at Piyush but missed.“Despite suffering a bullet injury to his chest, Prashant managed to drive the car for around 50-100 metres from the incident spot. Then I took the wheel and drove them to Asian Hospital in Sector 21A, where they were admitted for treatment,” Piyush added.
