A fatal altercation erupted in South Delhi's Sangam Vihar when splashed rainwater from a roadside puddle led to a violent confrontation. An auto-rickshaw driver was fatally mowed down by a fleeing tanker, and another person was injured in the ensuing chaos.

A tragic incident unfolded in South Delhi's Sangam Vihar on Wednesday evening, resulting in one death and another person injured. The fight was triggered by splashing roadside logged rainwater, police reported.

The altercation began when an auto-rickshaw broke down, and its occupants—Arif Khan alias Vishu (18), Shakeel (18), Durga (24), and others—were trying to fix it. The trouble escalated when a passing water tanker splashed rainwater over them.

Outrage ensued as some individuals began pelting stones and vandalizing the tanker. The driver, Sapan Singh (35), attempted to escape, during which resident Shahdab alias Saddam was tragically mowed down. He was declared dead at Batra Hospital. The tanker driver abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene.

In a further twist, another auto driver, Bablu Ahmed, was stabbed by the attackers when he questioned their actions. He is currently receiving treatment at Safdarjung Hospital after being transferred from the Majidia Hospital.
