A 20-year-old mass communication student, his father, and his friend have been arrested for allegedly abusing and manhandling public and the police after the accused rammed a car in south Delhi’s Chittaranjan Park area, the police said on Tuesday.
The two youth were heavily drunk at the time of the incident.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Thakur said that the accused have been identified as Rohan, a second-year mass communication student of a famous private college in Noida and a resident of Greater Kailash-1. His friend Anish Raghav is a resident of Sahibabad, and Rohan’s father Ajay Mahipal is a businessman.
