A video of a road rage incident in Bengaluru has now gone viral on the internet, which shows a man with a dagger; however, he was later booked. The Bengaluru City Police shared a dramatic before-and-after video of a road rage incident on their official Instagram account. The first part of the clip, recorded by a commuter, shows a man brandishing a dagger and threatening people near the Lingarajpuram flyover underbridge on Hennur Main Road. When a goods vehicle driver tried stopping him as he attempted to flee on a 2-wheeler with an associate, the miscreant retaliated by damaging the vehicle.

More details about the incident.

The latter part of the viral clip includes a copy of the complaint registered under the Arms Act of 1959 and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The incident happened on Thursday near the Lingarajpuram flyover. The clip also features the same man, but this time presumably after his arrest. The Bengaluru City Police, sharing the clip, wrote, “Road rage will not get you anywhere except into trouble. Weapons, aggression and reckless behaviour have no place on Bengaluru streets. Offenders will face strict action, and if you witness something, dial 112. Stay calm, drive safe and keep our roads drama-free.”
