Mangalore, May 12: A traffic block created by a car parked on the narrow road adjacent to a luxury hotel on Bunts Hostel Road led to a heated argument between the car owner and the public on Tuesday May 11.   

The situation on the narrow road, where work on constructing an overhead barricade to prevent heavy vehicles passing was already underway, was aggravated by the haphazard parking of the car. 

Many vehicles passing by were impeded as a result and the people in those vehicles took the car owner to task.

The car owner argued that he had parked the vehicle in the parking lot of the hotel and it was trespassing on private property if other vehicles passed through the parking lot. 

The argument between tensed up so much that the police had to intervene.  

Meanwhile, someone let out the air from all four wheels of the car. The public demanded that the police remove the car and book a case against the owner for blocking traffic. 

The heated argument lasted for nearly 15 minutes and a large crowd gathered on hearing the disturbance.  

The Mangalore City Corporation took up the overhead concrete barricade work after the old one collapsed recently. The barricade is required on this road because an overhead bridge prevents heavy vehicles from passing by when there are no law enforcers around.  

The police took the car into their custody and interrogated the car owner.
