New Delhi, May 4 (PTI) An e-rickshaw driver allegedly attacked a man with a blade following an argument over a collision between their vehicles in Delhi's Dabri area, police said on Sunday.
The incident happened Wednesday night when the Gagandeep Singh (33), a Gurugram-based taxi driver, was travelling with his mother to his in-laws place in Vikaspuri. The e-rickshaw driver, Rajendra, was arrested later, they said.
