The confrontation began when one of the men allegedly overtook her car recklessly and confronted her. The altercation intensified as more individuals joined in, allegedly chasing her with bricks and following her into her gated apartment complex.
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. Police have registered an FIR under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNSS), including Section 118 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means), Section 126(2) (wrongful restraint), Section 351 (criminal intimidation), Section 329(3) (criminal trespass), and additional provisions for mischief and causing hurt, reported India Today.
Investigators are reviewing more CCTV footage and gathering eyewitness testimonies to identify the attackers. While the victim has claimed the men were cab drivers, police are verifying whether they are linked to ride-hailing platforms or if there was any prior connection.
Authorities have intensified the search for the suspects and assured swift action, with police patrols in the area being increased to prevent further incidents. The case has drawn public attention, sparking discussions on road safety, aggressive driving, and the need for stronger deterrents against mob violence in the city.
