NEW DELHI: Four more people have been arrested in connection with the assault on a serving Brigadier and his son in southwest Delhi’s Vasant Vihar last Saturday, taking the total number of arrests in the case to six.The accused have been identified as Surjit Singh (36), Sunil Sharma (53), Ashish (32), and Satender (35), residents of Mehram Nagar and Bhiwani in Haryana. Earlier, police had arrested Satender alias Sonu (49) and Sanjay Sharma (56), both from Mehram Nagar.Police said Satender and Sanjay were in their SUV when they were confronted for consuming liquor in a public place inside the vehicle.Investigations revealed that Surjit is acquainted with the main accused, Satender. The group was reportedly together in Mehram Nagar when Surjit received a call from Satender regarding a quarrel in Vasant Enclave. They then drove to the spot in Surjit’s white car.An officer said that a confrontation took place upon their arrival, after which they returned home. However, once they learned that a case had been registered, they went into hiding and were later tracked down and arrested.“The car used in the incident has been recovered. Further examination is underway,” the officer added.Police said Satender is a director at a firm providing aviation services, including chartered and cargo flights, and is also involved in the sale and purchase of aircraft and related parts. Sanjay Sharma runs a dhaba in the area.An FIR has been registered at Vasant Vihar police station under sections 115 (voluntarily causing hurt), 126 (wrongful restraint), 351 (criminal intimidation), 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 191 (rioting), and 190 (every member of an unlawful assembly guilty of an offence committed in pursuit of a common object) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).Speaking to TOI earlier, the brigadier’s wife had said that the incident took place at 9.45 pm on Saturday when the family had stepped out for a stroll. She was walking slightly behind her husband and son when they noticed two men consuming liquor inside a car parked near the society gate. In her complaint to police, she alleged that when they objected and asked the two not to do so, the men allegedly misbehaved, used abusive language and passed remarks that outraged her modesty.Following the confrontation, the family dialled 112, the police helpline, and a PCR vehicle reached the spot at 10.15 pm. However, the situation escalated in the presence of police personnel, the woman alleged. The occupants of the car talked to the cops and even made them speak to someone over the phone, after which no action was taken against the two, she claimed, adding that the PCR personnel, too, behaved improperly with her during the interaction.Soon after, two more cars arrived and seven to eight men, allegedly known to the two men who were drinking, stepped out. “They threw my son to the ground and started beating him,” the woman alleged. He suffered multiple injuries.When the brigadier intervened, two-three men surrounded him and assaulted him as well, leaving him with bruises, including on his elbow.
