Couple assaulted after objecting to reckless riding in Bengaluru's Electronics City

Bengaluru: In yet another road rage incident in the city, a couple was allegedly assaulted by a group of men at Bettadasanapura in Electronics City on Friday evening.

Police said the victims, Soumyadeep Sen and Vaidreemla Pradhan, both from West Bengal, were driving towards Electronics City when two bikers travelling ahead of their car took a sudden turn without any indication.

The couple shouted at them for reckless driving. Enraged, the youths allegedly intercepted the couple’s car, smashed its windows, pulled Sen out of the vehicle and assaulted him. When his wife rushed to help him, she too was allegedly thrashed.
