Gurugram, July 9 (PTI) Three youths assaulted CNG station staff with bricks and threatened to kill them after being told not to jump the queue to refuel their WagonR, leaving two employees injured before fleeing the scene near Ghamdoj Toll here, police said on Thursday. After a video of the incident went viral on social media, police registered an FIR at the Bhondsi Police Station and launched a search for the accused, officials said. On Wednesday, police received information regarding a fight among a group of youths at a petrol pump. The police team immediately reached the spot and learned that two injured persons were admitted to Civil Hospital, Sohna and were later referred to Civil Hospital, Sector-10, Gurugram. The police team said the complainant, who was employed at the petrol pump, reported that three youths assaulted them and created a ruckus when they were urged not to jump the queue to refuel their vehicle. Police said they collected the Medical Legal Report (MLR) and other available evidence. "A special police team has been constituted to identify and apprehend the accused, and further legal action is being taken in accordance with the law. Investigation is underway," said the spokesperson of Gurugram police. PTI COR ASD ASD
