There is a reason while Delhi is called the crime capital of the country, as was proved by yet another case of road rage in the city on Thursday.

When Mahajan said that there was enough space for the other car to pass, the accused allegedly started abusing him and a verbal altercation started between the two,' a police official said. The official added, 'Mahajan reportedly told the accused to not use foul language in the presence of the ladies.

I simply asked the accused to behave in a proper manner and to respect the fact that I am a senior citizen and old enough to be his father. Instead of respecting me, he pulled me out of my car and physically assaulted me,' Thursday's victim, S K Mahajan said.
Mahajan added that the accused had also threatened to kill him. 'On the basis of the licence plate number which the victim has provided, the car was traced and found to belong to a government employee who works as an account officer.
