Bengaluru Road Rage Incident: Auto Driver Verbally Abuses Car Driver,
A disturbing video showing a Bengaluru auto driver aggressively hitting a car window and verbally abusing the car driver during a road rage incident has gone viral, sparking widespread outrage across social media platforms.
In response to the video, Commercial Street Police Station took immediate action, addressing the issue on X (formerly Twitter). The police confirmed that they registered a case under PAR 02/2025 against the accused, emphasizing their zero tolerance policy towards road rage. The police also stressed the importance of safe and responsible driving, as reckless behavior on the road puts lives at risk.
Bengaluru Police tweeted: “Zero tolerance for road rage. Our team took action immediately, and PAR 02/2025 has been registered against the accused. Reckless behavior on the road puts lives at risk—drive responsibly.”
The exact cause of the altercation is not entirely clear, but the video has fueled discussions about road rage and the need for stricter enforcement of traffic laws.
Reactions from X Users: The viral clip has ignited strong reactions online. Many users praised the police for their prompt response, but others called for more severe penalties. One user remarked, “Good job, Bengaluru Police. The entire auto driver community in the city has become a menace.”
Another user expressed relief at the police’s swift action, stating, “In this city of turmoil, swift action like this gives us a sigh of relief. Big salute.” However, some felt that more stringent measures should be introduced. A user suggested, “Tweak the laws and impound their vehicles. Apprehending them and letting them out on bail won’t help.”
Others questioned whether the authorities would have acted so quickly if the incident hadn’t been caught on camera, asking, “Would the police have taken similar action if the assault wasn’t recorded?”
This incident highlights the ongoing issue of road rage in Bengaluru, with citizens urging law enforcement to adopt stricter measures to ensure the safety of all commuters.
