A minor scrape between two cars on a Gurugram road on Saturday turned into a violent assault when a retired Army colonel was allegedly beaten with beer bottles, forced to transfer Rs 30,000 via UPI and left hospitalised.

The incident took place in Haryana when Colonel Anil Yadav, 50, was returning alone from a private hospital after attending to his ailing father. According to his complaint, a car in the lane to his right suddenly swerved left and, despite braking, his vehicle grazed it.
