A harrowing incident of road rage in Bengaluru has left a family shaken and a five-year-old child injured. On Tuesday night, two unidentified men on a motorbike chased and attacked a car carrying a family, smashing the rear window with a stone and injuring the young boy. The incident, captured on video, has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about the safety and law and order situation in the city.
The video, which has gone viral, shows the two assailants repeatedly stopping the car and demanding the driver, the child's father, to roll down the window. When he refused, they resorted to violence, throwing a stone at the rear window, shattering the glass. The father, visibly distressed, is heard shouting, 'Mera bachcha tha udhar' (my son was there) as he rushes after the assailants. The family immediately took the injured child to a nearby hospital.
The incident has been widely condemned, with many expressing their anger and concern over the growing incidents of violence in Bengaluru. The Citizens Movement, East Bengaluru, a local activist group, took to Twitter to highlight the incident and express their concern, tagging the Bengaluru City Police. They also voiced their apprehension about the rising lawlessness in the city. This incident serves as a grim reminder of the need for stricter law enforcement and increased public safety measures to prevent such attacks and ensure the safety of citizens.
The family has filed a complaint with the Parappana Agrahara police station, who have initiated an investigation to apprehend the culprits. The police are currently reviewing the video footage and interviewing witnesses to gather information about the attackers. The incident has also prompted calls for enhanced security measures and stricter penalties for road rage incidents to deter such violence and ensure the safety of citizens in the city.
