VideoHe shared, “Unfortunately, some innocent people are being targeted and intimidated by individuals acting in the name of being locals, influential families, or self-proclaimed gangsters. Disagreements on the road should never turn into violence.” He further tagged Bengaluru Police in his social media post.In a comment on his own post, Naik explained what happened in detail. “A road rage incident happened at the Indiranagar 12th Main Road traffic signal on 2 July 2026. During the red signal, a biker tried to pass through a small gap between a Maruti Dzire and a Mercedes-Benz. He honked, asking the Dzire driver to move a little so he could pass. This led to an argument between the biker and the co-passenger in the Mercedes. Suddenly, the co-passenger got out of the car and allegedly started hitting the biker.”The video shared by Naik showed a man slapping a bike rider. Eventually, the man pushes the rider from his bike. He keeps abusing the man even when the traffic starts moving.Naik posted that eventually, other commuters intervened and showed their support for the biker.“The person driving the Mercedes, who appeared to be with the co-passenger, stepped in and stopped the fight. He also said he would pay for the minor damage caused to the Maruti Dzire. Many people at the signal gathered around and supported the biker. They spoke against the assault and helped calm the situation. I am sharing this because road rage over small issues is becoming common, and I hope the authorities will look into this incident.”(Hindustantimes.com has reached out to Lakshman Naik. This report will be updated when he responds.)What did social media say?An individual posted, “Imagine explaining this to the insurance company.” Another tagged Bengaluru Police and shared, “Please take action.”A third commented, “How can someone raise his hand in public, who gave that right to him?” A fourth wrote, “Control your anger. It's a road; anything can happen. Stay calm.”Naik clarified that he shared the video not for “views, likes or followers” but to seek justice for the biker.Also Read: Two held for assaulting Delhi man in Gurugram road rage case“Many times, innocent people become victims of threats, abuse, and intimidation. Most of these incidents are never recorded, so the truth never comes out. Without evidence, many victims are left unheard. In this video, something important happened. At first, the people around were just silent spectators. But once they understood what was happening, they stood with the bike rider . That reminds us that when ordinary people stand up for what's right, injustice becomes harder to ignore. No one has the right to threaten, abuse, or manhandle another person on the road—whether in the name of money, influence, being a local, or acting like a gangster. The law is the same for everyone.”Trisha Sengupta works as Chief Content Producer at Hindustan Times with over six years of experience in the digital newsroom.
