Brigadier Assault Case: Two Arrested, Mercedes Involved Seized

New Delhi: Delhi Police has apprehended two men in connection with the assault on an Army officer and his son in the Mehram Nagar area in the national capital, an official said on Tuesday.

The apprehended accused were Satender alias Sonu (49), a resident of Mehram Nagar who is the director of a private aviation firm dealing in charter and cargo flight services and aircraft trading, and Sanjay Sharma (56), who runs a local eatery in the same area.

The Army brigadier and his IIT graduate son were allegedly assaulted, and his wife threatened, by a group of men in southwest Delhi after the officer objected to two people consuming alcohol inside a Mercedes car parked outside their house on Monday.

According to the police, Satender and Sanjay Sharma were seen in the car involved in the incident. The Mercedes car involved in the incident has also been seized. Police said both suspects are currently being questioned.

The attack took place late on the night of April 11, around 10 PM, when Brigadier P S Arora and his son Tejas Arora stepped out for a walk after dinner. According to the family, they confronted a group of individuals who were allegedly sitting inside the car and consuming alcohol.

When the Brigadier and his son objected, the men reportedly responded with abusive language and refused to leave, claiming they were locals.
