The Karnataka police, so far have arrested two individuals in connection with a recent road rage incident reported at the Udupi Town Police Station. Udupi SP Arun K stated that a viral video showed two factions from the same gang clashing.
A case was subsequently filed at the Udupi Town Police Station on 20th May. Ashiq and Rakib, members of the Garuda Gang, have been taken into custody, while approximately five others involved in the incident are still at large. The police have confiscated two cars, two motorcycles, a talwar, and a dagger. The SP mentioned that the FIR was based on available information as of 20th May and additional charges would be added based on the video evidence.
The SP also noted that although the exact cause of the clash is not yet clear, initial reports indicate that the gang is not very active currently and internal conflicts may be due to one group’s jealousy over the other group’s role in the gang’s decline.
In an incident near Sharada Kalyana Mantap road, two groups engaged in a road rage scenario that seemed like a scene from a movie. CCTV footage showed a white car reversing and hitting a brown car with its doors open, then moving forward amidst youths brandishing a talwar. After reversing again and returning to the main road, the white car struck a man holding a talwar, causing him to fall. Both vehicles continued moving, and two youths were seen attacking the fallen man.
