A 22-year-old Delhi University student and his friend were allegedly thrashed by six men for not giving side to their car in the DLF Phase 1 area, police said on Thursday.

According to the complaint, Raja, a student of a DU college in Malviya Nagar, was on his way to Gwal Pahari from Baliawas in his car on Wednesday, when around 4.30pm he was overtaken by a Maruti Baleno. He was with his friend Praveen.

“On the way, a Baleno car overtook us near Baliawas chowk. Around six youths got down from the car and beat us with sticks arguing why we were not giving them side,” the first-year BA student said in his complaint.

The men threatened to kill us and fled in their car, he said, according to police.

An FIR was registered against six unidentified youths under sections 148 (riots), 149 (unlawful assembly), 341 (wrongful confinement), 323 (causing hurt), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC at the DLF Phase 1 Police Station on Wednesday.
