A father-son couple has been arrested for assaulting a Delhi Police inspector and a police constable after officers stopped their Bullet motorcycle and objected to its modified muffler in southeast Jamia Nagar Delhi, officials said on Sunday.

The incident took place on Saturday when Station House Officer (SHO) Inspector Narpal Singh of Jamia Nagar police station was on a night patrol with his team.

He saw a Royal Enfield motorcycle making excessive noise and ordered his team to stop the vehicle for inspection. They confirmed that the muffler had been illegally modified, making noise beyond permissible limits and breaching the Motor Vehicles Act.

As soon as the police started legal action against the rider, Asif (24), he called his father, Riyazuddin, to the spot. The incident took place around 8.45 pm near Batla House in Jamia Nagar.

What led to the physical attack?

When Asif’s father reached the spot, he tried to take the motorcycle and asked the police to solve the matter in an illegal approach. He even threatened the SHO with dire consequences if he did not release the motorcycle.

The heated argument turned into physical assault when the SHO refused to release the motorcycle. Asif and his father caught the officer and hit him near the eye, resulting in injury.

Soon, the father-son duo was overtaken by police personnel, including constable Ramkesh, who also sustained injuries. The injured policemen were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

An FIR has been registered against both the accused for stopping the policemen from discharging their duties and assaulting them while on duty. Both have been arrested, a senior police officer said.
