Parking issue
Ashish Tyagi, a friend of the two victim who escaped unhurt, told the police that he, along with Mr. Arora and Mr. Sharma, were going towards Jheel Chowk, Geeta Colony on a scooter.
When they reached near a dhaba, they found three motorcyclists quarrelling with a car driver asking him to give space for them to pass, the police said. The duo tried to pacify both parties.
