A retired Indian Air Force officer and Kargil War veteran was severely injured following an assault by a parking attendant in Gurugram. The victim alleges that the hospital report was falsified and that police response was inadequate.
Why it matters
The incident highlights concerns regarding public safety, the treatment of veterans, and the efficacy of local law enforcement and medical reporting.
Kargil War veteran Amit Kumar Gupta was allegedly attacked with an iron rod by a parking attendant at Magnum Global Park in Gurugram, with the strikes resulting in a serious head injury and a fractured elbow, according to the retired military officer.
Mr. Gupta was part of the Indian Air Force's 'Operation Safed Sagar' team during the Kargil War of 1999, police said.
He has alleged that the medico-legal case (MLC) report prepared at the hospital is false and does not mention the bleeding from his head or the elbow injury following the incident on Thursday (September 10, 2026). He claimed to be receiving no assistance from the police either.
The retired group captain has filed a complaint at the Sector 65 police station, and an FIR has been registered against unknown accused, police said.
