Dispute over parking bike turns violent, six injured

On the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday, a narrow lane of the Subhash Park area in northeast Delhi turned into a scene of chaos after a quarrel over motorcycle parking took a violent turn.

Six members of a family were injured in the incident when their neighbour allegedly set his pet dog on them, and along with his friends, launched a physical attack.

According to the police, the accused, Shalu, got into a heated argument with his neighbour Ketan (32) over parking a motorcycle.

The argument escalated, and within moments, Shalu allegedly called in a few of his friends and set his pet dog upon Ketan and his relatives.

“During the altercation, Shalu, along with his friends, attacked Ketan and five of his family members. He also unleashed his pet dog on them before fleeing,” a police officer said.

All injured were taken to GTB and JPC Hospitals. While five were discharged after being administered first aid, one person is still under observation, the official added.

“We have registered a case under relevant sections of the BNS,” the cop mentioned, adding that multiple teams are working to trace the accused, who is absconding.

This is not the lone incident that resulted in a physical scuffle over parking in the city. On August 7, actress Huma Qureshi’s cousin Asif Qureshi (42) was murdered in a late-night parking dispute in the Jangpura area of Southeast Delhi.
