**Parking Dispute Turns Violent: Man Set Ablaze in R.K. Puram**
**NEW DELHI, July 15, 2025 (The Hindu)** – A parking dispute in the R.K. Puram area of Delhi turned violent Sunday night, leaving a sanitation worker with significant burn injuries. According to police reports, Rahul Chauhan, an employee of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, sustained 20% burns after allegedly being doused with petrol by Gaya Prasad, a 42-year-old mechanic.
The incident occurred near Mr. Prasad’s shop. Initial reports indicate that Mr. Chauhan and his cousin, Siddhant Raj, were sitting in their parked vehicle when Mr. Prasad asked them to move it. This sparked an argument that quickly escalated, culminating in the alleged attack.
“As per preliminary investigation, the fire could have been caused by a cigarette lit inside the car,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South West) Amit Goel.
Police were alerted to the scene via a PCR call and transported Mr. Chauhan to a trauma center. His condition is currently reported as stable.
Mr. Prasad is currently being questioned by police, and a case has been registered against him under Section 109(1) of the BNS (attempt to murder) based on Mr. Chauhan’s statement. The investigation is ongoing.
