Bengaluru IAF Officer Booked for Attempt to Murder After CCTV Footage Surfaces

Bengaluru IAF Officer: New CCTV footage has emerged, presenting a contrasting narrative to the initial account of a road rage incident in Bengaluru involving an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer.

In the CCTV video accessed by CNN-NEWS18, Wing Commander Aditya Bose appeared to have initiated the physical assault, with his wife, Squadron Leader Madhumita, also seen engaging in verbal abuse. The officer locked the rider’s neck with his hand and wrestled him to the ground.

Witnesses told CNN-NEWS18 that the IAF officer appeared to have lost control during the altercation, brutally assaulting Vikas.

“He was hitting like he was mad, had lost complete control", one of the witnesses said. “We tried to stop the fight, but the officer was out of control," another one said.

“We are not taking sides, but the IAF officer too should follow the law," the third one said. “He landed 15-20 blows, flung his phone with full force as the victim too attempted to record the incident," the fourth one added.

Bose earlier posted a video on social media and accused a local resident of attacking him and his wife. According to Bose, the incident occurred when the couple was en route to catch an airport bus. The officer in the video said a biker allegedly stopped their car and began hurling abuse in Kannada.

Police statement

D Devaraj, DCP East Bengaluru, says, “… This is not a case related to any language or region. This is very clear from the facts and evidence collected from the morning. It is a clear-cut case of road rage, which is very common in Bengaluru. Both of them could have avoided this.

He added, “When this altercation was taking place, 6-7 youngsters tried to separate the two people and stop the fight. They tried their level best to pacify both of them… When the lady officer, Madhumita Das, was driving, this guy was coming from the opposite direction… This was the root cause… Then the officer got out of the car, and both of them had a fight. One guy, Vikas Kumar, has been arrested…”
