Police said the family members of the army man, also residents of Warriors apartment, while out in their car, brushed past a passing motorcycle rider. Manoj fell down and sustained minor injuries, which led to arguments between the two. Soon after, Manoj went to his Palanahalli home and narrated the incident to his family. Manoj’s family and neighbours rushed to the spot and confronted the army man.

One of the apartment residents slapped one of Manoj’s family members. Soon, the residents rushed out and engaged in a scuffle. Another resident informed the Yelahanka police, who, on a complaint filed by one Pratham Pradhan, a family member of the army man, registered a case. Manoj filed a counter complaint.
