Delhi Police has arrested three men while two juveniles have been apprehended for allegedly creating ruckus and pelting stones causing damages to vehicles in the Jahangirpuri area of northwest Delhi.
Three of the accused were identified as Vishal (18) and Veeru (18), both residents of Lakhi Par in Jahangirpuri, and Zahir (20) from BhalswaDairy.
According to police, all five accused were under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident. A purported video of the incident that took place on Tuesday night showed the accused pelting stones and damaging vehicles.
According to Usha Rangnani, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Northwest district, around 10.45 PM on Tuesday, two police control room (PCR) calls regarding the incident were received at Mahendra Park police station.
Inquiry revealed that Zahir had gone to I Block, Jahangirpuri with some of his friends in search of two men, Sameer and Shoaib, with whom he had an argument two-three days ago, she said.
“They (accused) were allegedly drunk and when they could not find them (Sameer and Shoaib), they pelted stones, causing damages to three vehicles.
