The incident took place near Ullala main road in Jnanabharati PS limits.
This comes just days after a 71-year-old man was dragged by a scooty for nearly one kilometre in broad daylight in Bengaluru.
The incident took place after the scooty, which was coming from wrong side, hit the victim’s car on Magadi road. The accused, Sahil, tried to speed away when 71-year-old Muthappa got down from his car and got hold of the scooty’s grabrail. However, 25-year-old Sahil did not stop and kept dragging septuagenarian until the people stopped him.
More cases of road rage have been coming forth this year. Most notably, Kanjhawala hit-and-drag case, in which a woman was killed after the scooty she was travelling on was hit by a car after which she was dragged for four kilometers on Sunday in Delhi’s Sultanpuri area.
The CCTV footage of the mishap has been found, and five men — who, police suspect, were under the influence of alcohol — have been arrested for negligence.
