What Police Claims?

D. Devaraj, DCP East Bengaluru, stated that the incident is not related to any language issue, calling it a clear-cut case of road rage that both parties could have avoided.

“… This is not a case related to any language or reason. This is very clear from the facts and evidence collected from the morning. It is a clear-cut case of road rage, which 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 both of them had a fight. One guy, Vikas Kumar, has been arrested,” DCP said.

Zee news couldn’t independently verify the authenticity of the videos.
