Delhi witnessed a road rage incident on Tuesday early morning in which a businessman on way to his home with his 16-year-old nephew was shot dead after an argument over rash driving. The 43-year-old businessman is identified as Vinod Mehra was driving home from a wedding at GT Karnal Road.
Deputy Commissioner of Police said, “Vinod, the victim was driving his Wagon R when suddenly a van overtook him at around 3 am. An argument started with the occupants of another vehicle who were driving in a rash manner. Both the vehicles stopped at the Bhalaswa flyover where accused pumped bullets into the victim’s chest. The accused then reportedly intercepted Vinod’s car, shot at him and fled.”
