A 40-year-old sanitation worker suffered 20 percent burn injuries after a bike mechanic allegedly poured petrol on him during an altercation over parking in southwest Delhi's RK Puram area, police said on Monday.
The incident took place around 9.30 pm on Sunday at Sector-8 market, when the local police received a PCR call reporting that a man had been set on fire by a bike mechanic.
A police team, including the station house officer, emergency officer and beat staff, rushed to the spot and found the injured man, identified as Rahul Chauhan, a resident of Vasant Gaon. He was immediately shifted to the Trauma Centre by a PCR van.
