A 46-year-old Air Force wing commander was assaulted by an auto-rickshaw driver and two others over road rage in Indiranagar.
The incident happened on May 4 but came to light after a complaint was filed.
V S Rao, a resident of the Air Force Officers Enclave in CV Raman Nagar was assaulted on May 4. Indiranagar police have lodged an FIR and are searching for the absconding accused.

Around 5.30, an auto-rickshaw driver, stopped their car, parking the auto-rickshaw in the middle of the road. Rao got down to inquire.
