A 28-year-old man was arrested for setting his neighbour’s car on fire reportedly over a parking dispute in Delhi’s Lajpat area on Monday. The police tracked down the accused around 600km away from national capital in Uttar Pradesh’s Amethi.
The accused, Rahul Bhasin runs an event management business and lives in Lajpat Nagar with his brother and his family, the police said, as reported by news agency PTI.
The incident happened on late Saturday night. Bhasin had an ongoing dispute over parking with his neighbour, Ranjeet Singh (48). Owing to one such argument, he decided to set Chauhan’s car on fire with his friends.
On November 29, Singh lodged a complaint against Bhasin for allegedly damaging his Maruti Suzuki Ciaz parked outside his house, the officer said. The entire incident was caught on CCTV.
As per the CCTV footage, Bhasin and two of his friends were seen stepping out of their car in the middle of the road and smashing the windshield of the Ciaz and parking his own Mahindra Thar on the middle of the road and leaving.
Acting on the complaint, police seized the Thar and a probe was initiated. On the intervening night of November 30 and December 1, the accused brought thinner and set the bonnet of Singh’s car on fire,” the officer further said.
A team was formed to track and nab Bhasin. With the help of human intelligence and technical inputs, the team managed to track him down in Amethi in UP on Sunday, the police said. The police said that Bhasin was apprehended last year over the same issue.
Singh told police that the accused and his friends would often indulge in fight with him and his family members.He also said that Bhasin would often pick fights with him after consuming alcohol, and that he informed the local police every time and they took actions.
The police said that accused has been brought back to Delhi and is being interrogated.
Further investigation in the matter is underway, the police said.
