BENGALURU: City Police Commissioner B Dayananda, speaking on the case in which an Indian Air Force (IAF) Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose and his wife Squadron Leader Madhumita Das were allegedly assaulted in a road rage incident on Monday, said on Tuesday that a case has been filed by Madhumita while a counter-case has been registered by the two-wheeler rider’s family.

“A case and counter-case have been registered at Byappanahalli police station. The police are investigating both cases. Based on CCTV footage and other methods, we will collect all the information and come to a conclusion. It seems to be due to a small altercation between a bike rider and the driver and co-passenger in the car. Details will be revealed only after a due investigation”, the police commissioner said.

On Monday DCP (East) D Devaraj, had said, “… 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 person, Vikas Kumar, has been arrested…”
