Chaos erupted on Summanahalli flyover in Kamakshipalya on Wednesday night when a Hyundai Creta, driven recklessly, was seen dragging a Bullet motorcycle stuck on its front. Sparks flew from beneath the SUV’s wheels as commuters watched in disbelief.
Eyewitnesses alerted the SUV driver, but the vehicle continued moving, with the Bullet attached to its front. The act was video-recorded by bystanders and uploaded on social media. The SUV was finally blocked near Nayandahalli junction by angry commuters and the driver, Srinivas KV of Kunigal, was handed over to the police.

Rohit S., the Bullet’s rider, described the terrifying ordeal: "The SUV rear-ended my Bullet, throwing me down. As I fell, I saw the SUV continued with my bike stuck in front.
Victim Escapes Unharmed
It dragged my Bullet for almost 500 metres before it separated." Rohit lodged an FIR with Kamakshipalya police. Srinivas, a wine shop owner from Kunigal, admitted consuming alcohol due to personal problems. "I panicked after hitting the Bullet, but I wasn’t aware it was stuck.
I thought commuters were shouting at me for something else," he told police. Fortunately, Rohit escaped without serious injuries. Police reported that the angry mob damaged the SUV and assaulted Srinivas, breaking the vehicle’s windshield.
