A complaint at a police station turned into another alleged attack after four men who were accused of intercepting a car and smashing its window allegedly assaulted the complainant and his two friends outside New Colony police station in Gurugram on Thursday.
The incident began when Gautam, a resident of Madanpuri, was driving towards New Colony after taking a U-turn near Hari’s Bakery. According to his complaint, a Scorpio N (HR26FG5726) overtook his car and forced him to stop.
Four men allegedly stepped out of the SUV and tried to open Gautam’s car door. When they failed, they allegedly smashed the window, sending shattered glass into Gautam’s face.

He also told police that the entire confrontation had been captured on his car’s dashcam.
Police said an emergency response vehicle received information about the incident near Aryan Hospital in Sector 7. A team reached the location and found Gautam, Ravindra and Sandeep there, but the Scorpio had already disappeared.
Police later traced the SUV to an area near Sai Temple at New Colony turn. Gautam told officers that the occupants had entered a hotel opposite the spot.
