Kolkata: A resident of an upscale condominium off EM Bypass alleged his driver was assaulted by another resident over a parking dispute.
The driver lodged a complaint at the Anandapur PS. The driver told police he had just driven up to the club at Urbana, when the resident walked up to him and demanded to know why he had parked the car behind his. This escalated and the accused resident allegedly assaulted the driver.
Residents’ Welfare Association and members of the condominium met both the victim and the resident who allegedly assaulted him. An RWA member told TOI they had asked everyone to “refrain from violent reaction to petty issues”. “As the incident has been reported to police, we are not taking any specific action. But we have sent a message across that we are one big family and that petty issues can be resolved amicably via dialogue. We hope such an incident won’t be repeated,” the member said.
