This is the second such incident od road rage in Chembur in the last one month. On September 3, three men had attacked a biker in a parking row near RC Marg. The biker died on the spot and the suspects were later arrested.
"Suhas lives in Chembur's Bharat Nagar locality. He had earlier exchanged words with Karan over parking space in their society." said a police officer as reported in Mumbai Mirror. The matter came to a head on September 22 with the two arguing in the building premises on top of their voice. Karan walked away from the spot but a few hours later he called his friends, Arjun and Rahul, and the three attacked Suhas near Bharat Nagar Chowk.
The three suspects were allegedly armed with a knife and an iron rod. Passers-by tried to intervene and solve the matter but the suspects threatened to harm them too. After the assault, the three fled from the scene. Suhas was later admitted to a nearby hospital.
"It all started with an argument. The main suspect didn't do anything at the time but later planned the attack with his friends. They waited for Suhas near Bharat Nagar Chowk," said an officer with the RCF police.
