Police to open rowdy-sheet against those involved in road rage extortion

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: Concerned with the recent surge in the number of road rage incidents in the city, the Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda on Sunday, warned that an act of rowdy sheet will be opened on those who are involved in such incidents.

In the past few months, social media has been flooded with many ‘fake’ road rage incidents, thanks to the dash cameras inside the several cars.

Based on the evidence, the city police managed to identify and arrest gangs involved in such crimes.

Taking to the X, the Bengaluru top cop notified in his post, saying, “Officers have been instructed to open ‘rowdy sheets’ on such unscrupulous elements indulging in road rage or extortion activities.”

Recently in Whitefield’s Siddapura, two miscreants were seen stopping the car in the middle of the road and creating a ruckus. In a video that went viral, two people on a bike chased the car and tried assaulting the driver.

Bengaluru police later arrested the two accused.Earlier this month, a family travelling from Bandipur forest was attacked by a group of miscreants who stopped their car in the middle of the road.

The attackers were also seen hurling abuses at the family, and the whole video was recorded in the dash cam of the car. The police later tracked the vehicle and arrested the culprits.
