NAVI MUMBAI: In an incident of road rage in Sanpada on Thursday night, a local man attempted to run over four men with his SUV following an argument. The victims sustained minor injuries. The incident occurred near Kitchen Delight Hotel in Sector-1, Sanpada.
Subsequently, the four men and their friends assaulted the accused, identified as Digvijay Shelke (28), who was later admitted to hospital. Shelke is in the construction business and a resident of Saileela Building in Sector 1, Sanpada.
Acting on a complaint by one of the injured persons, identified as Kushal Kundar (36), the Sanpada police registered an FIR against the accused SUV driver Shelke. He was booked under relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) for attempted murder, intentional insult aimed at provoking someone to disrupt public peace or commit an offence, and criminal intimidation.
Meanwhile, Shelke lodged a cross-complaint alleging that a group of around 23 people assaulted him with fist blows and kicks. Hence, an FIR for rioting, assault, and wrongful confinement, among other relevant sections of BNS, was registered against the accused mob, informed police inspector (Crime) Sanjay Nale of the Sanpada police station.
PI Nale said that on Thursday around 11.50pm, one Ayush Patil parked his car near the hotel and was chatting with a group of friends. “An allegedly drunk man on a scooty rammed into a parked car, leaving a dent on it. The friends told the youth to pay for the damage caused to the car, but the man argued and called up his brother Bhim Tamrakar, who works as a watchman at Saileela Society nearby. The watchman told building resident Digvijay Shelke about the incident who then went in his car to the spot where the incident happened and confronted the car owner for verbally abusing the watchman’s brother for the petty damage caused to his car and demanding compensation,” said PI Nale.
“The argument escalated after which Shelke, in a fit of rage, ran over his SUV on the group of friends. Thereafter, a group of 23 people standing near the hotel assaulted Shelke, causing him injuries.”
