Four individuals have been arrested following a violent road rage incident in East Delhi’s Preet Vihar, where two families engaged in a street brawl after a minor car collision on Sunday night.
The incident, which took place on May 5, quickly escalated from a verbal dispute into a physical altercation, with viral videos capturing the clash on camera.
According to reports, the confrontation began when a vehicle travelling on the wrong side of the road collided with another car. Following the impact, the occupants of both vehicles—which were carrying families of three to four people each—stepped out onto the road.
What started as an argument over the collision rapidly spiralled out of control. In the footage circulating widely on social media platforms, members from both sides can be seen trading blows. Both families are reportedly residents of the nearby Geeta Colony area in East Delhi.
Cops Filming Instead of Intervening?
The viral videos have drawn significant attention, not just for the violence, but for the apparent inaction of local authorities. Two Delhi Police personnel can be seen on camera recording the entire brawl on their mobile phones instead of stepping in to defuse the situation or separate the fighting factions.
Police Action & Clarification
Following a preliminary inquiry, the Delhi Police registered a case against members of both parties under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Four individuals have been taken into custody so far, and senior officials confirmed that further legal proceedings are currently underway.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police have officially dismissed rumours circulating on social media alleging that a baton (lathi) was stolen from a Police Control Room (PCR) van to assault one of the families during the fight.
