2 groups were allegedly involved in a fight over a motorcycle in Haridwar’s Jwalapur Kotwali area, prompting police to register cross FIRs. Both sides have accused the other of assault, and the investigation is underway.
According to police, the dispute began on 23 October after Armaan of Ahbabnagar took his friend Nawazis’s motorcycle to Ansari Market. Police stopped the motorcycle at Durga Chowk during checking and asked Nawazis to send its documents.
Armaan alleged that Nawazis refused to provide the documents and abused him over the phone. After paying a cash challan, Armaan returned to Nawazis. He alleged that Nawazis then struck him with an iron wire.
Accounts in the 2 complaints
Armaan further alleged that his mother Kausar, father Shaukeen and maternal uncle Kallu went to Nawazis’s house that evening to ask why he had assaulted Armaan. He claimed that Nawazis, Dilshad, Abid, Asif and Parvez attacked them with an iron rod, bricks and sticks.
Nawazis gave a different account in his complaint. He said Armaan had taken his motorcycle and returned it after about 4 hours. Nawazis alleged that police had detained the vehicle and that he had to spend one thousand to get it released.
According to Nawazis’s complaint, he asked Armaan to return that money, leading to an argument. He alleged that Armaan later arrived at his house with 7–8 youths and began assaulting those present.
Nawazis claimed that he, his maternal grandmother, his paternal uncle and his uncle’s sons were injured when they intervened or were caught up in the alleged attack. The complaints contain competing allegations, and the account of either side has not been established by a court.
Police investigation
Circle Officer Sanjay Chauhan said police had registered cross FIRs based on the complaints from both sides. He said the matter was being investigated.
The FIRs mean that both parties’ allegations have been formally recorded for investigation. They do not by themselves establish guilt or determine which account is correct.
Conclusion
Police have registered cross FIRs after a motorcycle-related dispute led to competing assault allegations in Jwalapur. The next verified step is the investigation into both complaints.
