3 arrested for thrashing Delhi businessman, biting off his nose in road rage incident

New Delhi: Three men have been arrested and charged in Delhi's Lahori Gate area on Saturday for thrashing a 29-year-old businessman and biting off his nose for allegedly driving in the wrong side.

According to a report in the Hindustan Times Vijay Kumar, who's wedding is scheduled on March 4, was returning home after shopping, when he decided to take a U-turn near Novelty Cinema in the area to escape the traffic jam.

Accusing him of driving in the wrong side, three men, Vishal, Dhiraj and Vipin, dragged him out of his car and started beating him.

Dhiraj, one of the assailants, further went on to bite off a part of Vijay's nose, and when a cart-puller in the vicinity tried to intervene, he bit off his hands as well.

Vijay Kumar was rushed to a local hospital where the doctors suggested that he undergo a maxo-facial surgery for reconstruction of his nose as attempts to retrieve the bitten portion failed.

Vijay owns a food colouring business in the area.
