**Bengaluru Road Rage Incident Involving IAF Officer Takes New Turn**
CCTV footage has revealed a surprising twist in the Bengaluru road rage incident involving an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer. The video evidence shows that Wing Commander Aditya Bose, an officer with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), was not merely a victim but also engaged in a physical altercation with his alleged assaulter, confirming that both parties were involved in the confrontation.
The footage, which has been reviewed, depicts Wing Commander Bose and his wife, Squadron Leader Madhumita, approaching a man dressed in a neon green jacket. Contrary to earlier claims made by Bose, the video suggests that he initiated the physical confrontation, with his wife also participating in verbal exchanges. In one segment of the footage, Bose is seen pushing the man onto the road and repeatedly kicking and hitting him, while bystanders attempt to intervene and stop the altercation.
Earlier in the day, Wing Commander Bose had shared two separate videos on social media, accusing a local resident of attacking him and his wife while they were on their way to catch a bus to the airport. He recounted that a biker had stopped their vehicle and began verbally abusing them in Kannada. The situation escalated when the biker noticed the DRDO sticker on their car and allegedly directed further insults at them. When Bose exited the vehicle, he claimed the biker struck him on the forehead with a key, resulting in bleeding, and that others joined in the attack, with one person reportedly hitting him with a stone.
In the video, a visibly injured Bose stated, “A bike came from behind and stopped our car. 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.” Although Bose had to leave for Kolkata and did not file a complaint immediately, his wife later reported the incident at the Baiyappanahalli Police Station, leading to the filing of an FIR and the arrest of the accused.
Madhumita’s complaint alleged that the biker was riding recklessly, kicked their car, and threatened them by saying, “You’re from the DRDO, I can see the sticker. This is Kannada land; just watch what I do.” However, the newly surfaced CCTV footage contradicts Bose’s narrative, showing him as the alleged instigator of the confrontation.
The footage captures Bose grappling with the man while passersby attempt to separate them. Another angle reveals Bose applying a chokehold on his alleged attacker. Madhumita is also seen trying to intervene during the altercation. The video further shows Bose dragging the fight onto the road and continuing to assault the man in the neon green jacket, while his wife verbally confronts him.
This incident raises questions about the escalation of road rage and the responsibilities of individuals in such confrontations. As the investigation continues, it highlights the importance of understanding the full context of altercations before drawing conclusions.
