**Bengaluru, September 4, 2025** – A 61-year-old man died early Wednesday morning following a road rage incident sparked by a parking dispute outside a private hospital in R.T. Nagar, Bengaluru. Syed Nisar Ahmed, a resident of Kauser Nagar suffering from paralysis and breathing difficulties, was allegedly assaulted and pushed to the ground after an argument with a delivery executive, Abdul Shariff, 30, and his friend, Tehreen Fathima, 26, over a blocked parking space.
Ahmed had arrived at the hospital with his son and son-in-law for a consultation when they encountered Shariff’s scooter obstructing their path.

According to police reports, Shariff and Fathima allegedly assaulted both Ahmed and his son, resulting in Ahmed falling to the ground and suffering complications. His son sustained a ligament injury while trying to intervene.
Ahmed was rushed to the hospital’s emergency room, where he was pronounced dead. Doctors suspect a possible cardiac arrest, but the exact cause of death will be determined by a post-mortem examination.
Eyewitnesses apprehended Shariff and Fathima at the scene and handed them over to the police. The accused, both residents of Bengaluru, had also been at the hospital for their own consultation.
