2 Delhi sisters assault former DSP, a cancer patient, after he asks them to not honk car

NEW DELHI: Two sisters armed with a knife allegedly barged into the house of a former Uttar Pradesh deputy superintendent of police (DSP) and attacked him and his family following a dispute over honking in east Delhi's Vasundhara Enclave area, police said on Sunday.

The incident took place on Saturday night after former DSP Ashok Sharma, who is a cancer patient, requested the two sisters to refrain from honking their car a day before, a police officer said, adding that Sharma escaped with minor injuries in the attack.

Police said soon after Sharma asked the women to stop honking on Friday night, they damaged flower pots of his flat and went inside their own flat.

Both Sharma and the two sisters -- Chhavi Jain (21) and Bhavya Jain (23) -- are residents of Anekant Apartments society, police said.

A high drama was witnessed on Saturday when police was called after the two women allegedly reacted aggressively, the officer said.

As the police team reached there, both the women first went inside their house and locked the door. Later, the accused, who tried to flee in their car, were arrested after a chase, police said.

"It has been alleged that on Saturday, both the sisters entered the house of Sharma forcefully and confronted him and his family with a knife, creating a disturbance that drew neighbours to the scene. Some residents who attempted to intervene also sustained minor injuries," said the officer.

Police said after the confrontation, the sisters tried to flee in their vehicle and allegedly hit a scooter rider and dragged it for a few metres, rammed their car into a PCR van injuring one of the police personnel, and also hit the society's gate barrier.

"They (sisters) were chased and apprehended from Noida. We have started further investigation into the matter," said the officer.

A total of four FIRs have been registered at New Ashok Nagar police station against the two accused on the basis of complaints filed by former DSP Sharma, his daughter Reena, head constable Sunil and scooter rider Joginder, police said.

The two sisters have been booked under various sections of BNS including 109(2) (attempt to murder), 115 (voluntarily causing hurt), 126(2) (wrongful restraint), 221 (obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions), and 132 (assaulting or using criminal force against a public servant), the officer said.

Police said that both the sisters have a history of confrontational behaviour, including an incident in which they allegedly took a security guard hostage on September 5.

The two sisters were booked in the case in which NBW proceedings are underway against them.

Investigation in all the cases are in progress under ACP Kalyanpuri, police said.
