A commuter’s car was vandalised in Bengaluru by auto rickshaw drivers in a case of road rage which was caught on camera.
Sharing the details on automobile updates website Team-BHP, the man, who did not wish to be identified, said the incident took place in south Bengaluru‘s Ejipura signal when he was driving for a work event one afternoon. He said he was driving at a speed of 70 to 80 kilometres per hour and that he had not done anything “except being in a bit of a hurry and overtaking a few cars”.
At the signal, two autos were miffed that I hadn’t let them pass me and slot in behind the Honda City in front of me,” he wrote.
The autorickshaw drivers allegedly tried to intimidate him and make him stop the Volkswagen car. They finally managed to corner him by stopping the car in front of him.
The automobile platform on Friday shared the video of how his car window was smashed, as recorded by the dash camera.
