BENGALURU: A 25-year-old man was beaten black and blue by two people in a road rage incident in RT Nagar on May 14. The victim, identified as Pradeep, is a resident of Doddanna Nagar in RT Nagar and an employee with a digital TV company.

While walking down the roadside in Doddanna Nagar around 10 pm, his shirt’s sleeve got stuck in the handle of a bike parked near the house belonging to the attackers. The bike fell and the attackers identified as Rajesh (30), and his younger brother Raju (26) saw this.

When Pradeep was lifting up the bike, they came out of their house and assaulted him for making their bike fall. Pradeep tried to explain that it was not intentional, but they didn’t listen to him. He managed to escape from there and reached home. 

Pradeep said, “After I reached home, Rajesh and Raju came with a wooden log and broken asphalt sheet and pulled me out of the house to assault me brutally. My family members and neighbours stopped the duo and took me to the hospital.”

“I fractured my left leg and doctors performed surgery. Later, the police took a statement from me at the hospital,” he said, adding that the bike stand was not proper, so when his shirt got stuck in the handle, it fell down.An investigating officer from DJ Halli police station said, “We have arrested the duo and are investigating the case further.”
