Bengaluru road rage: Car damaged, owner thrashed; 3 bikers arrested

While road rage incidents are a global concern due to their potential danger, Indian roads are not immune to these incidents as well. A shocking incident has unfolded in Bengaluru, Karnataka where three motorcyclists damaged a car, thrashed the driver and subsequently got arrested in the end when the police sprang into action.

As per reports, the incident took place in Varthur after the driver of the car reportedly honked to signal the bikers to clear the road, as they were obstructing the vehicle’s path. This seemingly innocent act infuriated the bikers, leading to a series of aggressive actions that culminated in a violent assault, first on the road, and later at the victim’s apartment complex.

The entire chain of events was videographed by both the car’s dashboard camera and the CCTV cameras installed at the victim’s apartment, who later shared both footage on social media.

The first video, recorded on the car’s dashboard camera while the vehicle was traveling from the DSR Riveria apartment to Varthur, shows a group of men on two-wheelers deliberately obstructing the car’s path. When the driver stopped to ask what the matter was, the men aggressively approached the car, following which the driver can be heard apologising a quickly reversing to take an alternative route to avoid further confrontation.

The rowdies even followed the SUV owner to his house and assaulted him.

The video of the incident recorded in the car’s dashboard camera was tweeted by the victims following which the Bengaluru Police arrested the miscreants.
