An argument over an auto-rickshaw parked in a no-parking zone allegedly escalated into a physical altercation with traffic police and a Traffic Regulation Brigade (TRB) personnel near the Barrel Market slope in Ahmedabad’s Danilimda area on Wednesday evening.
The incident occurred around 6 pm during peak-hour traffic congestion, when a police constable and a TRB personnel asked the driver to move the vehicle for obstructing traffic. The driver and two men accompanying him allegedly abused the personnel and scuffled with them when asked to leave.
