Bandra Road Rage Accused Claims Garewal Rammed His Car
Two people got very angry at each other while driving their cars in a place called Bandra in Mumbai, India.
This kind of anger between drivers is called road rage.
A fitness trainer named Arjunjit Garewal said that three men attacked him and his car.
He said the men broke his car's windows with a hockey stick and tried to hit him with a baseball bat.
One of the men, Bilal Khan, says something very different.
He says Mr. Garewal bumped into his car three times on purpose.
He says he chased Mr. Garewal to ask him to pay for the damage.
He also says Mr. Garewal got out with a wooden stick and started the fight first.
Mr. Khan showed a video and pictures of his hurt hand.
The police have heard both stories and are watching videos from cameras to figure out what really happened.
Some people were held by police but later let go after getting official notices.
The police want to find out who started the trouble and who is telling the truth.
Police registered an FIR after fitness trainer Arjunjit Garewal, 39, alleged three unidentified men attacked him following a road-rage incident near Bandra Talao in Bandra West.
The incident occurred around 12.15 am on August 9; attackers allegedly used a steel baseball bat and smashed the windows of Garewal's Mahindra Thar SUV with a hockey stick while his wife was inside.
Accused Bilal Khan counter-claimed on Instagram that Garewal rammed his car three times before the confrontation and stepped out carrying a bamboo stick or wooden rod, initiating the physical fight.
Bandra police detained Bilal Shaikh, 30, Anas K, 25, and another person identified as Rajen, who were later released after being served notices; other alleged participants reportedly fled.
Police are examining both versions, including video and dashcam footage, vehicle damage, and injuries, to establish the sequence of events.
