Singhs fatherPanchkula, Aug 25: Haryana police on Sunday night arrested Yograj Singh, father of cricketer Yuvraj Singh, in a case of late-night brawl over a car parking in Panchkula town.

Yograj, a former cricketer who has also worked as an actor in Punjabi movies, was held on late Sunday night following the violent clash between a group of his friends and NRI relatives and their neighbours.

Yograj and his friend allegedly attacked a former deputy superintendent of police (DSP) and his two sons.

Along with Yograj, Panchkula police have arrested four more people including former cricketer's friend Bhupinder Singh, former Chandigarh police DSP Ashanand and his two sons Sumit Nand and Sunil Narang, both advocates.

Yograj was recently treated for the cancer of vocal chords.

"We have registered cross FIRs against both the parties as it was a case of clash and both the groups attacked each other," said inspector Baljeet, SHO of sector 5 police station in Panchkula.

Police said that Bhupinder, the friend of Yograj, lives right in front of the family of former DSP in sector 2 of Panchkula and have had arguments over parking in the past too.

The trouble started on Sunday night after Bhupinder returned to his house along with the relatives of Yograj after attending birthday party of ex-cricketer's 12-year-old daughter Amy in latter's house in neighbouring Manimajra town of Chandigarh.

As Bhupinder started parking his car, the DSP along with his two sons raised an objection and soon the heated arguments turned into a scuffle, said police.

Bhupinder, in the meantime, phoned Yograj, who reached his house accompanied by his bodyguards and allegedly attacked the ex-DSP and his two sons.

Police said sharp-edged weapons were used in the brawl and Bhupinder along with Kuljeet Kaur, Aaron and Tanya Kaur suffered injuries and were treated at the government hospital.

Police said Tanya has also levelled allegations of molestation against Ashanand, Sumit Nand and Sunil Narang.

According to SHO Baljeet, a case under sections 148 (rioting with weapons), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (causing injuries), 452 (house trespass), 506 (criminal intimidation) has been registsred against Yograj and Bhupinder and another case under sections 323 (causing injuries), 506 (criminal intimidation), 34 (criminal act done by several persons with common intention) of the IPC has been registered against the ex-DSP and his two sons.

The five accused would be produced in a Panchkula court later on Monday afternoon, added SHO Baljeet.
