Chandigarh: Sector 8 family attacked in road rage

Chandigarh, July 28

Two miscreants allegedly attacked a Sector 8 family of four in a case of road rage. The complainant, an architect by profession, reported that he along with his mother, sister and elder brother were on their way back home after having lunch at a restaurant in Sector 7.

His elder brother was following them in a separate car. When they reached near DAV School, Sector 8, an argument broke out between his brother and the two individuals travelling in a Volvo car over the right of way. The situation escalated after the suspects blocked his brother’s car by parking their vehicle in front of it.

They then charged at the complainant’s brother, pulling him out of his car and hitting him on the head with a brick. When the complainant tried to intervene, he was also attacked. His mother and sister too were abused and manhandled. The suspects, including one named Hardi Nain, after smashing the windowpane of the victim’s car, fled the spot.
