Bengaluru auto driver’s road rage attack goes viral, police take swift action

A disturbing video capturing an auto-rickshaw driver in Bengaluru violently striking a car window and hurling abuses at the driver has triggered widespread outrage online. The incident, which highlights growing concerns over road rage in the city, prompted a swift response from law enforcement.

Commercial Street Police Station addressed the viral footage on X, reaffirming their commitment to road safety. “Zero tolerance for road rage. Our team took immediate action, and PAR 02/2025 has been registered against the accused. Reckless behavior on the road puts lives at risk—drive responsibly,” the department posted.

The exact reason behind the altercation remains unclear, but netizens have reacted strongly. While many praised Bengaluru Police for their prompt action, others demanded stricter laws and harsher punishments for habitual offenders. Some users suggested impounding offenders’ vehicles, arguing that mere arrests would not serve as a deterrent.

One commenter expressed frustration, stating, “The auto-rickshaw drivers in Bengaluru have become a menace. They show the same aggression towards both locals and migrants.” Another lauded the authorities, saying, “Swift action like this restores our faith in the system. Keep up the good work!”

However, skepticism remained, with a user questioning whether police would have acted if the incident had not been recorded, “Would you have responded similarly if there was no video evidence?”
