A road rage incident in Bengaluru’s Hulimavu area escalated into violence after a woman and her family were allegedly assaulted by a group of 10–12 men, reportedly cab drivers. The confrontation began when one of the men allegedly overtook her car recklessly and confronted her.

CCTV Footage Shows Woman's Car Being Vandalised

CCTV footage from the scene shows the woman’s vehicle being blocked and vandalised, reported Times Now. One man is seen punching the car window, shattering it, while others surround the vehicle. The group allegedly forced their way into the residential compound and continued their aggression, as per a report on Economic Times. When the woman’s father and relatives attempted to intervene, they were assaulted as well.

Her father has lodged a formal complaint at Hulimavu Police Station, seeking the immediate arrest of all those involved.
