The latest video comes just days after a shocking case of fatal road rage in the city, in which a Kalaripayattu martial arts trainer and his wife were arrested for deliberately killing a 24-year-old food delivery agent.
The incident, which took place on the night of October 25 at Nataraja Layout, saw the couple, identified as Manoj Kumar (32) from Kerala and his wife Aarati Sharma (30) from Jammu & Kashmir, allegedly ram their car into the victim’s scooter following a minor brush.
Police investigations revealed that the victim, Darshan (24), a food delivery agent from Kembattalli, died on the spot, while his friend Varun, who was riding pillion, sustained injuries. CCTV footage showed the accused chasing and hitting the scooter after Darshan had already apologised for the minor collision.
The two incidents, one caught on CCTV and another on dashcam, have reignited public anger over Bengaluru’s rising pattern of road rage, with many demanding that offenders face stronger legal consequences to curb such deadly aggression on the city’s roads.
