Las Vegas chiropractor faces arson, attempted murder charges

The man accused of ramming his truck through the Queensridge gated neighborhood and setting the vehicle ablaze Wednesday morning has been identified as a Las Vegas chiropractor.

Livleen Neel Khurana, 47, was arrested after police witnessed the incident. A report on the man’s arrest says an officer saw him slam through the home’s garage, pour a liquid on rags inside the vehicle and light them on fire. The man was still holding a matchbook when he was taken into custody, according to the report.

The officer had been watching over Khurana’s wife’s home in the Queensridge gated community starting about 3 a.m., and received notification from neighborhood security that a man had driven a truck through the front gate. Khurana was not supposed to be there; his wife had a protection order barring him from coming within 100 feet of her or their children because of domestic violence allegations.

The man was gone when police first arrived Wednesday, the report said, so the officer began to watch the home in case he returned.

He came back about three hours later — after running from a police stop shortly before 4 a.m. and throwing a burning item from his car window about 5 a.m. — and again ramming through the security gate about 6 a.m.

Khurana has been arrested in the past for home invasion and domestic violence battery, the report said. He asked for a lawyer and was not questioned by police, who said he smelled like gasoline.

According to the business’ website page, Khurana is a chiropractor at Aaron Neck and Back, 1204 S. Eastern Ave.
