<p> The city police arrested three people in a road rage incident, where the men assaulted the driver and conductor of a Kerala State Transport Corporation bus.</p>.<p>The incident happened in the early hours on Saturday near the Jnanabharathi railway station. The police said the arrested men — Vishwanath alias Vishwa, Deepak and Harish — are in their early 20s, living in Udyaynagar in KR Puram.</p>.<p>The Kerala bus bearing the registration number KL-15-A-1986 driven by Anil Kumar left on an overnight journey to Bengaluru from Kozhikode at 8 pm on November 23. The bus reached the Jnanabharathi railway station around 5.45 am on Saturday and was navigating the service lane at a lower speed. A Toyota Innova behind the bus kept honking for space to overtake, but the bus driver could not move sideways in the narrow lane.</p>.<p>When the road broadened, the bus driver moved to allow passage for the MUV. But the vehicle waylaid the bus and three men, including its driver, emerged with a jack rod. They abused Kumar and hauled him out of the driver's seat and Vishwanath smashed his head with the rod.</p>.<p>Kumar, who sustained severe head injuries, was taken to a private hospital and the passengers were shifted to another KSRTC bus coming from behind.</p>.<p>Later, the bus crew reported the incident at the Kerala transport office at the Mysuru Satellite bus station. A staff member, identified as Sunil Kumar, filed a complaint with the Jnanabharathi police.</p>.<p>The police booked the three men under IPC Sections 341 (assault), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from discharge of duty), 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from duty) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace).</p>.<p>They traced the men using the MUV's registration number and arrested them. Vishwanath supplies drinking water cans, Deepak is a flower vendor and Harish is a carpenter. They had visited Vishwanath's hometown in Mandya for a Karthika temple festival and were returning to Bengaluru when the incident happened.</p>.<p>The three were produced before a magistrate and remanded to judicial custody.</p>
