Gurugram, Mar 4 (IANS): A civil engineer was allegedly attacked by 10-12 unidentified armed persons in Gurugram's Sohna Road over a car parking issue, police said on Saturday.

He told the police that he works for a construction company as a civil engineer.

"On Friday night, after finishing my work, I was getting my food packed from 'Youth House Cafe' near the K.R. Manglam University on Sohna Road. I had parked my Honda City car on the side, and at the same time, 10-12 men came. Two of them had revolvers. They threatened and abused me and told me to park my car elsewhere as their friends used to park (vehicles) there. After that, they started beating me and badly damaged my Honda city. When I resisted, they fired at me," Khatana told the police.
