Police teams formed to arrest absconding men

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police has formed several teams to arrest the two absconding accused in the Sail Chairman attack case in Hauz Khas. Anil Kumar Chaudhary, chairman of India's largest state-owned steel producer Steel Authority of India ( SAIL ) was assaulted by some drunk men armed with iron rods in the national Capital on Wednesday night.

Though initially, it looks to be a road rage case but the police are investigating from all possible angles. However, the victim has apprehensions that the assailants were out for a motive and intended to kill him.

Chaudhary was on the rear seat of company's official car and the assailants had reached the Ansal tower on August Kranti Marg, when the assailants, in another car, grazed his car twice. Chowdhary felt it was a pretext to make it look like an accident and the real motive was to dangerous.
