Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] April 22 (ANI): Members of the Pro Kannada organisation staged a protest on Tuesday outside the Byappanahalli Police Station in Bengaluru. They demand swift action in the case involving Indian Air Force Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose and his wife, Squadron Leader Madhumita Das, who allegedly assaulted delivery boy Vikas Kumar in a road rage incident in Bengaluru.
While speaking to the reporters on Monday, D. Devaraj, DCP East Bengaluru, informed that this is a clear-cut case of road rage. He denied that language-related violence was a possible cause.
He said, "This is not a case related to any language or reason. This is clearly evident from the facts and evidence collected in the morning. It is a clear-cut case of road rage, a phenomenon that is very common in Bengaluru. Both of them could have avoided this."
" When this altercation was taking place, 6-7 youngsters tried to separate the two people and stop the fight. They tried their level best to pacify both of them... When the lady officer, Madhumita Das, was driving, this guy was coming from the opposite direction... This was the root cause... Then the officer got out of the car, and they had a fight. One guy, Vikas Kumar, has been arrested," he added.
In the press conference, the city Police Commissioner B Dayananda said, "The police are investigating. Based on CCTV footage and other evidence, we will collect all the information and draw a conclusion...It seems to be due to a small altercation between a bike rider and the driver and co-passenger in the car. Details will be revealed only after a due investigation..."
"A case and a counter-case have been registered at the Byappanahalli Police Station," Commissioner Dayananda said. "The police are investigating both versions. Based on CCTV footage and other available evidence, we will gather all necessary information and arrive at a conclusion."
The Commissioner said that further details would be revealed after a thorough investigation. (ANI)
