A civil engineer was allegedly shot by over 10 unidentified people over a car parking issue in Sohna area here, police said on Saturday.

The incident happened on Friday, they said.

The victim Gautam Khatana, in his complaint, said that as he came out of a cafe, more than 10 people in an inebriated condition approached him and clashed with him over a car parking issue.

"Two of them were carrying weapons in their hand and started abusing me and asked why I parked my car there because the parking space was only for their friends," the complainant said.
