The Kargil War veteran who was left bloodied in an attack by a parking attendant in Gurugram has narrated the sequence of events that played out in a stark reminder of increasing lawlessness in the Millennium City bordering the national capital.
Speaking to NDTV, the retired officer alleged that the hospital’s report to police did not correctly mention the injuries he suffered.
Speaking to NDTV, he alleged that the hospital’s report to police did not correctly mention the injuries he suffered and called for a rectification. At one moment, he recalled, he was trying to reverse his car when one of the attendants banged on his vehicle in an apparent attempt to break the windshield. The police were late in their response, he further claimed. But the police did not come for half an hour. They kept asking for the location. We kept telling them everything. But the police did not come. Gupta claimed a police official later called him up and asked for the doctor instead of speaking with him. He further claimed that the MLC (medicolegal certificate) report submitted by the hospital was not accurate.
“I called my family first and then dialled 112 (police helpline).
As he came out to protest, he said he was attacked. After that, we took an ambulance and came here to Medanta with my family,” he said.
On Thursday night, Gupta recounted that he had taken his family to Magnum Global Park to have dinner at Gonzo restaurant. After dropping his family members, he went to park his car. That’s where it all began. The retired officer claimed no other mall staff stepped forward to his rescue as he bled profusely after the assault. A chef eventually intervened, and he saved my life, he added.
