Finding himself at the receiving end of abuse for 'blocking' an SUV driver's way in Bengaluru, a goods vehicle owner confronted him. Things escalated sharply from there, with the SUV driver trying to run the man over and then driving off at high speed with him on the bonnet, stopping only after several two-wheelers and cabs blocked the car.
A case of attempt to murder has been filed against the SUV driver, and he has been detained.
The First Information Report (FIR) states that Nanjunda, 36, a goods vehicle owner, was returning from Hoskote after purchasing flowers for his business on Wednesday and a relative, Manoj K, was at the wheel. Nanjunda said they had crossed Trinity Junction in the Halasuru area and were in the right lane with the indicator on as they wanted to turn right.
That's when a man driving a Maruti Suzuki XL6 began honking furiously. When he was told that they wanted to turn right, the driver reportedly drove alongside their vehicle and used expletives against Nanjunda.
Suresh, who was driving the Maruti Suzuki XL6, has been detained
When Nanjunda tried to confront the driver, identified as Suresh, at the next signal near HAL Airport Road (CB Road junction), he tried to flee. Nanjunda claimed he stood in front of the car to get him to stop, but Suresh tried to run him over, causing him to fall onto the bonnet.
A video shot from another car shows Nanjunda hanging on to the bonnet for dear life. As the XL-6 overtakes the car from which the video is being filmed, Nanjunda can be seen gesturing to Suresh and asking him to stop. Suresh doesn't even slow down, however, and the SUV overtakes a few other vehicles.
Several other people called out to Suresh, but he kept driving. A few cab drivers and two-wheeler riders intercepted and blocked the XL-6, finally bringing it to a halt near the ASC Centre and College.
Officials said a case of attempt to murder, among other sections, has been registered against Suresh, and he has been detained.
