Gurgaon: An FIR was registered against a man for allegedly trying to run over a cab owner and his friend with a car after threatening them for operating a vehicle in his area in Sector 57 earlier this month. The complainant suffered a fractured leg in the incident. Police said the incident took place on the morning of March 2. The complainant, Pravindr Singh, a native of Rajasthan who lives on rent in Wazirabad village, was travelling towards Rajasthan after learning about the death of a friend’s brother. In his complaint, Singh said that around 8am his vehicle had dropped a passenger from Sikandarpur to Sector 65. After the passenger got down and the driver stepped out, a man identified as Manoj allegedly stopped the vehicle, snatched the keys and the driver’s phone, and began threatening him. The driver later called Singh and handed the phone to Manoj, who allegedly abused Singh and warned him not to bring the vehicle to the area again, saying neither the vehicle nor the driver would return. While travelling towards Rajasthan, Singh checked the GPS location of his vehicle and found it about 200 metres away. He stopped at the spot to speak to the accused. According to the complaint, Manoj then arrived from behind in a car. Singh alleged that when he tried to stop him to talk, the accused first slowed down but then suddenly drove the vehicle towards him and his friend, Sakeem Kumar, before fleeing. Singh suffered a fracture in his leg in the incident, while Kumar sustained minor injuries.
