Bengaluru: A cab driver was arrested in western Bengaluru for allegedly stabbing a senior citizen following a dispute over car parking in Annapoorneshwari Nagar on Wednesday.
The victim is currently out of danger.
The police identified the suspect as Raghavendra. A court has remanded him to judicial custody.
Around 2 pm on Wednesday, Raghavendra asked the daughter-in-law of the victim, Dalapathi, to park their car elsewhere. Dalapathi came out of the house and asked Raghavendra why they should park in a different place.
An argument ensued, which eventually turned violent. Raghavendra pulled out a knife from his car and stabbed Dalapathi in the hand before fleeing the spot.
Based on a complaint filed by Dalapathi’s family, the police tracked down Raghavendra and arrested him for attempted murder.
