Deliberately blocking a parked car in India can lead to traffic penalties and potential criminal action. Affected individuals can approach traffic police, local police, or housing society management depending on the location of the obstruction. Legal experts clarify that such actions may violate the Motor Vehicles Act and regulations, and in severe cases, could be considered wrongful restraint under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Complaints can be filed via helplines, online portals, or written submissions to the relevant authorities.
