After a video of and alleged Bengaluru road rage case surfaced, details have now started unfolding IAF officer Shiladitya Bose, who had alleged an attack by a biker, is now absconding in the case. Reports suggest that he and his wife are not cooperating with the police to provide the dash cam footage, after alleging assault by the biker. Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara has said that an FIR has been filed in the case and efforts are being made to make progress.
The IAS officer has also been charged with attempted murder after a video of him hitting the biker surfaced online. The incident had surfaced after IAF Bose claimed in a video that he had been left with a serious injury and a bloodied face after the biker hit him. However, the biker, Vikas, had alleged that Bose's vehicle had hit him first and when confronted, he pushed the biker and his bike to the ground.
Vikas had earlier been arrested in the case, after the complaint filed by IAF Bose. Bengaluru Police said that Bose's wife who is also an IAF officer, has not been providing footage of the dash cam to the police and has been saying that a part of the device and the password of the dash cam is with her husband, who is currently in Kolkata. "She also claimed that part of the device was with her husband.
The officer, in his initial video, claimed that the incident had been captured on his car’s dash cam. But the couple is not cooperating with the probe and is yet to share the footage," the police said. "The guy started abusing me in Kannada.
When they saw the DRDO sticker, they said ‘You DRDO people’ and abused my wife. The moment I got out, the biker hit me with a key on my forehead, and there was blood," Bose had earlier said in his video..
