Man held for firing at, injuring motorist

New Delhi, Sep 18: A 65-year-old man was arrested on the charge of firing at and injuring a motorist in the hand during a brawl over wrong parking in south Delhi, police said on Monday.

Police said accused Rahul Rai was returning to his house in Chattarpur farms area from Nanital along with his driver Khushwinder Singh on Sunday evening when the incident occurred.

"When they neared Khokha Market at the Saket crossing on the Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, they came across a Swift car parked wrongly, but Khushwinder somehow managed to pass the spot," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Chinmoy Biswal said.

There was an altercation between Rai and car owner Amit, 38, following which Rai allegedly brandished a revolver and pointed it at Amit.

Amit, a resident of Krishna Park in Devli, tried to snatch the weapon but was shot in the left hand, the officer said.

Rai was sent to judicial custody by a court here, he added.
