(Representational image) The complainant, a court clerk, told police that the attack occurred around 3am after he and his friends arrived at the open-air food court in their car and honked in an attempt to get the attention of a restaurant staffer. Two vehicles — a black Mahindra Thar and a white BMW — were already parked there. 'One of the men standing near the Thar objected to the honking and began hurling abuses. Soon, others joined him, dragged us out of the car, and started assaulting us. They kicked and punched us, hit us with stones and beer bottles, and even targeted our car, smashing its windows,' the clerk stated in the FIR. His friends tried to intervene but were also beaten. One of them sustained a serious head injury, while the complainant was struck on the forehead. 'They surrounded us. When we tried to escape, they chased and attacked us again,' the FIR notes. Eventually, one of the friends managed to call the police, after which the attackers fled in their vehicles. Police said the PCR team reached the spot and rushed the injured men to Max Hospital. An FIR under sections of assault and wrongful restraint has been filed. While the area lacks CCTV cameras, and eyewitnesses didn't see the vehicle numbers, police said they have found a lead. 'We scanned alternative routes to find usable footage. We have identified the accused and are conducting raids in Dwarka and west Delhi to nab them,' an investigator said, requesting anonymity. The victims could not record their statements immediately due to their injuries, police said, but later approached the police station to initiate the complaint. Three of the four men were injured and are currently undergoing treatment, police confirmed.

Who is Mannan Anand, what are charges against him? Student arrested in Jammu after Thar hits 65-year-old man twice
Police have arrested a 20-year-old engineering student whose video — that drew sharp rebuke — showed him intentionally hitting an elderly man with his Thar SUV on July 27 (Sunday afternoon) in Jammu's upmarket Gandhi Nagar area. A manhunt was launched after CCTV footage of the incident went viral on social media. In the clip, the accused, identified as Mannan Anand, is seen driving at high speed on a single-lane road, colliding with a scooty, which causes 68-year-old businessman Kamal Dutt to fall. The SUV then drives forward, and as Dutt stands up, the Thar driver suddenly reverses the vehicle onto him. Subsequently, the driver — allegedly Anand — is seen stepping out of the SUV, standing over the unconscious Dutt, and then getting back into the vehicle before driving away. The police have registered a case against the Thar driver under sections related to attempt to murder, rash driving, and endangering human life. According to an official statement accessed by The Indian Express, 'Accused Thar driver Mannan Anand, son of Rajinder Anand of House Number 62, Sector 4, Nanak Nagar, Jammu, who was absconding in case FIR No. 163/2025 under sections 281, 125(a), and 109 BNS, has been arrested by Police Station Gandhi Nagar.' The police also circulated a message on WhatsApp that read:'Swift action, sharp pursuit. Absconding THAR driver in the road rage creating anger & concern in Gen public arrested. Justice may take its time, but it never loses its way.' The incident occurred near the Green Belt Park around 1:30 pm on Sunday, when a Mahindra Thar bearing registration number JK02DP-9594, being driven rashly from Gandhi Nagar towards the park, collided with a scooty near Allora Textiles. The scooty, which was coming from the opposite direction, was struck by the Thar, which was reportedly being driven on the wrong side of the road. The impact caused injuries to the rider, 68-year-old Kamal Dutt, who was rushed to GMC Hospital in Jammu by passers-by. The Thar driver fled the scene, according to a report by news agency PTI. Mannan Anand is reportedly a 20-year-old engineering student from the Nanak Nagar area of Jammu. He is the son of Rajinder Anand. While detailed information about his background remains limited, his alleged actions have drawn widespread criticism and highlighted concerns over reckless and entitled behavior on city roads.
