?The reason is accidental touch between the two wheeler and Bolero,? NDTV quoted DCP Laxman Nirbargi as saying.
?He was arrogant, did not stop after hitting my Bolero from behind and tried to flee away. So I did not want to leave him. He tried best to escape and wanted me to leave his scooter, he rode the vehicle like a snake. Couple of youngsters followed and tried to attack and stop him. Finally a couple of auto drivers and bikers managed to stop him and caught hold of him,? Muthappa said, as reported by PTI.
Several incidents of road rage were reported in different parts of the country after a 20-year-old woman was dragged by car in Delhi for nearly 10 kilometres on January 1. Earlier on Saturday, a woman was hit by a speeding car in Chandigarh while she was feeding street dogs.
