Bengaluru: A 22-year-old son of an IPS officer was assaulted by two sedan-borne persons in a road rage incident near Byatarayanapura signal on Ballari Road recently. The assailants were arrested Tuesday. Abhay (name changed), a law practitioner, stated in his complaint that the incident took place when he was driving from MG Road to his home in Amruthahalli on Sep 16 evening. He said as he neared the Byatarayanapura signal, a person driving a blue Hyundai Verna recklessly tried to squeeze his car between two closely moving vehicles including Abhay's. "The Verna slightly brushed against my car's mirror twice. As the signal turned red, he stopped his car adjacent to mine and started pressing the accelerator, making noise continuously. It appeared like the silencer of his car had been modified. So, I made a gesture with my hand asking him what he was trying to do," Abhay told TOI. He then took a turn towards Amruthahalli. "The man in Verna chased me and intercepted my vehicle by parking his vehicle perpendicularly to mine about 30 metres away. Two men got down from the car. The younger of the two was aggressive and broke my car's left-side mirror. He then started punching my window, threatening me to break it if I didn't roll it down," he said. "As soon as I rolled down the window, the two assaulted me. The older person suspected that I was going to note down the registration number of the vehicle. So, he blocked the view of the number by standing next to it, and insisted I leave so I couldn't note down the number," he said. After reaching home, Abhay discussed the incident with his parents and lodged a complaint. He sustained injuries on his face and shoulder. A senior cop said, "We have arrested two persons including Dhanush, 32, a businessman, and Tushar, 30 both from Sampigehalli. There were three people in the car including a woman. The woman didn't get down. Dhanush was driving the car. He was the one who broke the mirror and was the first one to assault Abhay. We got clues about their vehicle by verifying CCTV footage. The duo was detained on Wednesday evening and formally arrested on Thursday."
