The car had at least 4 to 5 occupants, including a woman and a child. The mob kept beating the man, with at least one of them seen hitting the victim with what appeared to be a metal object.
A little later, passersby were seen trying to break up the assault and intervene.
Towards the end of the video, a woman is seen rushing out of the car being attacked and pleading with the mob to stop. The victim was dragged out of the car and beaten by the mob.
The victim’s and the accused car had a small accident near the Srirangapatna toll gate while they were heading to Bengaluru.
After an initial argument both the parties moved on. But on inspecting the car, the accused realised that their car was heavily damaged. They tried to stop the other car driver, who refused. The accused then chased the car on the highway, stopped it and thrashed the driver.
The incident, which is said to have occurred on the Maddur stretch of the expressway, was captured on the dashcam of a vehicle travelling behind the family’s car.
The incident highlights the brazenness of hooligans and little fear of law that they feel emboldened to mercilessly assault a family in the middle of the highway. There has been no word from the police yet on the incident.
