Gurugram: Police said on Friday that three members of a family were booked after an altercation with their neighbours – a woman and her son – over a trivial car parking dispute in Palwal turned violent, ending with the man’s ear being bitten off and severed.
Abhilash, who also sustained injuries to his right eye and other body parts, was rushed to a private hospital, where doctors operated on his ear and tried to fix it. The brawl ended only after more neighbours came out and rescued the mother-son duo. Police said the victims were Manpreet Singh, 36, and his mother Suresh Bedi, 52, a resident of Adarsh Colony in Palwal. Police identified the suspect as Abhilash Sehrawat, 35, and his parents Ravi Sherawat, 53 and Pushpa Sehrawat, 51. On Manpreet’s complaint, police registered an FIR against the trio under sections 127(2) (wrongful confinement), 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 351(2) (criminal intimidation) and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on Tuesday.
The officer said the incident occurred around 9.30 pm on Monday when Manpreet’s maternal uncle left his car parked at the entrance of the colony road due to space crunch.
A police officer said Abhilash bit off Manpreet’s ear during the scuffle, which was severed. Police said Manpreet’s mother, Bedi, and a couple rushed out to rescue him, but the suspects assaulted them too while Ravi allegedly tried to choke Bedi. “However, they were later granted bail,” he said.
Krishan Gopal, station house officer of Palwal Camp police station, said that Abhilash and Ravi were arrested on Wednesday.
