New Delhi, April 14 (NationPress) In relation to the recent attack on a currently serving Army Brigadier and his son in South Delhi's Vasant Enclave, the Delhi Police have taken action following multiple interventions. An FIR has been lodged, and the police are addressing alleged failures in their initial response. Those involved have reportedly been reassigned while further investigations are conducted.

A preliminary inquiry has identified the main suspect as Satinder Kumar, a resident of Mehram Nagar, who is believed to have connections to an aviation firm.

The police are expected to act promptly to locate the accused and advance the investigation to a conclusive end.

This incident occurred when the Brigadier and his son went for an evening stroll just outside their home. They noticed two individuals inside a parked white Mercedes, consuming alcohol. Upon objecting to this behavior, a confrontation ensued.

Officials report that after the Brigadier and his son voiced their concerns about the two men drinking in their neighborhood, they were assaulted by a group of attackers. This event transpired on April 11 at approximately 10 PM.

In an interview with IANS, the officer's wife recounted the incident, stating: "The entire situation began when two people were sitting in a white Mercedes and drinking. After dinner, my husband and son stepped out for a walk, where they objected to the drinking, indicating it was inappropriate in a residential area. The individuals responded offensively. We did not retaliate but called the PCR, which took a while to arrive. When they finally did, they spoke to the men in the Mercedes. By the time the police began taking our statements, a group of goons arrived in two vehicles and began to assault my son and husband."

She went on to allege inadequate police intervention during the violent episode.

"Instead of assisting us, the police personnel returned to their vehicle. My husband attempted to protect my son from the attackers, but they began hitting him as well. When I approached the police again, the officer declined to help, claiming he could do nothing against such a large group. He stated he would wait for backup, but his team never arrived. The assault continued for 20 minutes, while I tried to intervene, even as the attackers hurled insults at me," she recounted.

Describing her interaction with the police, she added: "When I asked to be taken to the police station, the officer opened the trunk of the van and suggested I lie down there while he transported me. I refused and insisted on sitting in the passenger seat. He then told me, 'This is not your place.' We ended up driving to the police station ourselves, where we received no help and were questioned about why we kept calling the PCR, seemingly frustrating them."

The family filed a complaint in the early hours of April 12. "We lodged the complaint at around 2 AM on April 12, yet no action was taken until we escalated the issue through military channels. The police eventually transported him to the hospital, but we had to take him to our Army hospital ourselves, as they claimed they had no ambulance available for Safdarjung Hospital. No police officer accompanied us; they ignored our distress, seemingly unconcerned," she concluded.
