Driver vandalizes high-end car over salary dispute in Ahmedabad

AHMEDABAD: A driver was booked on Thursday for allegedly vandalizing his employer’s high-end car after he ran into a dispute with him over salary.
Police said the accused, identified as Kishan Bharwad (51), allegedly made scratches on the car belonging to his employer Sujal Rawal (38). Bharwad dented the car and also smashed its sidelights on Wednesday.
Rawal, a resident of Ellisbridge locality, filed a complaint with Vadaj police station, in which he alleged that Bharwad, whom he had hired as a driver and whom he had relieved from the job after paying all his due salaries in March, created a ruckus after he was denied three months salary that he had demanded.
Rawal had hired Bharwad for a monthly salary of Rs 15,000 around seven months ago.
When Rawal’s accountant at his office refused to pay Bharwad, he allegedly began abusing his staff members.
Rawal tried to reason with Bharwad that he could not be paid extra money as he had already left the job in March before the lockdown was imposed.
However, this infuriated Bharwad who left the office and gave a vent to his ire at Rawal’s car.
