A Honda Activa tried to overtake them but couldn’t owing to the poor road conditions as per Sabu. Following this, the biker hit the window smashing the window of the car. Sabu states that his wife and child were in the backseat and could have been severely injured.
I was traveling with my family in our car from Kodathi Gate towards #motherhoodhospital Kaikondrahalli, along with my wife @POOJAS06477094 and 2.5-year-old baby girl. During broad daylight, at around10:35AM.

The helmet, too, fell on the backseat. Sabu then got out of the car and the two got into a physical altercation. Sabu also filed an FIR at the nearest police station. CCTV footage was also recently shared as proof of the incident.
This is the guy who attacked us. He is a 35-year-old law student. I don’t know what will happen if such criminals become lawyers. He didn’t even spare my three-year-old daughter.@DKShivakumar @INCIndia #roadrage #Bengaluru #Sarjapur pic.twitter.com/spIcEqU6LS

According to an article which was recently published by the Hindustan Times or HT, Sarjapur Road has seen a rise in road rage incidents. The Bengaluru Police have also warned against them and have asked motorists to dial 112 in case of emergencies.
Its been a regular incident in Sarjapur road, especially against car and those who are driving with family. Usually these incidents happen during late night when nobody is around. Its very frightening to see that nowadays incidents like this are happening in broad daylight.
