NEW DELHI: A man and his son were shot at by three people over a parking dispute in northeast Delhi’s Bhajanpura area following which one of the accused was arrested while the remaining two were still at large, an official said on Friday.
According to the police, the incident took place on the intervening night of February 16- 17 when the victims, residents of Yamuna Vihar, Bhajanpura were coming back from a wedding. “An altercation with his neighbour, Arif, who is a tenant in the same locality took place over the issue of car parking.
