PANAJI: In a bizarre incident, a pay-parking attendant of the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) got into an argument with another man seated at the wheels of a parked vehicle at the Panaji Church Square. The argument escalated, leading to the attendant 'biting' the driver.
The matter is now being investigated by the Panaji police after the victim driver filed a complaint. Police sources said they have booked the complaint and sent the driver for a medical examination at the Goa Medical College and Hospital.
The vehicle in question is a private car and reportedly belongs to Lucia D'Souza, wife of prominent Goa Civil Services bureaucrat Anthony D'Souza. She had gone to the Union Bank (formerly Corporation Bank) there to attend to some personal work.
According to the complaint filed by the victim driver, he told the pay-parking attendant that the parking charges would be paid when his "madam returns from the bank to the car". But the attendant insisted on immediate payment and got into a heated argument before eventually biting the driver.
A visibly shaken D'Souza expressed shock over the incident and the abject, crude behaviour of the pay-parking attendant.
