Road rage: Woman injured in firing after son honks at car blocking way in Gwalior
Gwalior, Mar 26 (PTI): A woman was grievously injured when unidentified persons allegedly opened fire on her car after her son honked at their vehicle to clear the way in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior district, police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred near Rangawaan village in the Behat police station area around 10.30 pm on Wednesday when the woman and her son, who was at the wheel, were returning to their home in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh after visiting a temple in Gwalior.
Her son honked and blew a hooter to cross the road past a parked car. The occupants of the other vehicle later chased them and opened fire, causing grievous injuries to the woman’s neck, Sub-Divisional Police Officer Manish Yadav told PTI Videos.

Complainant Bhim Gautam Sharma told the police that he and his mother, Vimla Devi Sharma (60), had come to attend the Bhagwat Katha at Gijorra Dudhkhoh village in Gwalior. Before returning, they also visited two temples.
When they reached Rangawaan village, a white car carrying three to four young men was parked in the middle of the narrow road.
The complainant honked, requesting them to clear the way, but received no response.
He then blew the hooter, which angered the other car occupants, who allowed them to pass but soon chased their vehicle and opened fire after reaching a short distance. A bullet pierced the car’s window and struck Vimla Devi in the neck, Bhim Sharma alleged in his complaint.
