According to police, Umesh Gupta was driving his Ciaz along the service road in the area on Tuesday when the other car, an Innova, approached from the wrong direction. Gupta said he tried to give way, but the two vehicles brushed against each other. What followed was a heated exchange between Gupta and the Innova driver, which soon turned violent when Gupta's sons, Anubhav and Vaibhav, joined in.
Videos recorded by bystanders and shared online show the three men repeatedly striking the Innova driver, knocking him to the ground, and even attempting to use a stick taken from a passerby.
Eventually, the crowd intervened to stop the assault.
While the driver escaped without serious injuries, the Guptas were booked under BNS sections 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt) and 351(3) (criminal intimidation) and arrested.
In a separate incident on Thursday, four residents of Ghazipur were arrested by Knowledge Park police for allegedly ramming a man's car, leaving him severely injured. The accused allegedly had a personal dispute with the victim.
They now face charges under sveral BNS sections for rioting, attempted murder, and wrongful restraint.

New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) A Delhi Police constable sustained serious injuries after a police team was attacked by a group of people, including a known bootlegger and his family members, during a raid in southeast Delhi's Gautampuri area, an official said on Tuesday. The incident took place on Monday evening after constable Lakhan of the Special Staff in the southeast district received a tip-off about a large consignment of illicit liquor being stored at the residence of Kailash (63), a habitual offender with multiple cases under the Excise Act, he said. 'Acting on the information, inspector Rajinder Singh Dagar, in-charge of the Special Staff, formed a team comprising sub-inspector Shubham and other personnel. The team, dressed in civil clothes, reached the location around 8 pm," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Hemant Tiwari said. During initial surveillance, constables Lakhan and Satbir observed Kailash and another man openly selling liquor on the staircase of the house, he added. When the police team attempted to intervene, Kailash allegedly incited the crowd by shouting that someone should be killed to protect the business. Following this, Kailash, his wife Seeta, an associate named Sameer, a 17-year-old juvenile, and several others allegedly attacked the police team with lathis and bricks. Meanwhile, additional police force was called to the spot, and the situation was brought under control. Kailash, Seeta, Sameer, and the juvenile were apprehended, while others managed to flee under the cover of the gathered crowd. A case under relevant sections of the BNS was registered at the Badarpur police station.

HC grants bail to Anant in firing case
Patna: The Patna high court on Tuesday granted bail to former MLA Anant Singh in connection with an inter-gang shootout that occurred in Mokama on Jan 22 this year. The order was passed by a single bench of Justice Chandra Shekhar Jha, who allowed Singh's bail petition after reviewing the case. Anant, who was named as an accused in an FIR registered at Pachmahla police station in Patna district, can now step out of the jail. He is alleged to have abetted a violent clash between his associates and members of a local gang led by two brothers, Sonu and Monu. The shootout took place in Nauranga-Jalalpur village within the Mokama administrative circle of Patna district. He has been booked under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, for offences including rioting, unlawful assembly and obstruction of govt duties, along with relevant provisions of the Arms Act, 1959. Following the incident, Anant surrendered before a magisterial court in Barh on Jan 24, where he was remanded in judicial custody the same day. Since then, he had been lodged in prison. His regular bail plea was earlier rejected by the special MP/MLA court in Patna on Feb 6.
