According to preliminary information, the dispute unfolded outside Khanasama Restaurant in Civil Lines, an establishment owned by former Samajwadi Party MLA Saeed Ahmed. The argument reportedly began when bus operator Ravi Sonkar attempted to park his vehicle in front of the restaurant. Staff allegedly objected to the bus being stationed there, leading to a heated exchange between Sonkar and the former legislator’s son, Kavi Ahmed.
The confrontation soon escalated into physical violence. Amid the scuffle, allegations emerged that Kavi Ahmed fired a shot during the altercation, although no injuries from the alleged gunfire have been reported so far. CCTV footage from the area, now in possession of the police, is expected to play a key role in determining the sequence of events.
Police officials confirmed that an inquiry is underway and statements from all involved parties are being recorded. Authorities have said they will examine the CCTV evidence carefully before deciding on further legal action.
The episode has raised concerns about growing tensions in commercial districts, where disputes over parking and traffic congestion often flare up into larger conflicts. With the involvement of individuals linked to political leadership, the case is likely to attract significant public and administrative attention in the days ahead.
