CCTV Footage Exposes Chilling Bengaluru Road Rage Incident
A 24-year-old delivery agent, identified as Darshan N, was killed in south Bengaluru after a road-rage confrontation escalated into a deliberate hit-and-run, police and CCTV Footage show. The incident took place on the night of October 25 in Nataraja Layout (JP Nagar area) when Darshan’s scooter reportedly brushed against a car, damaging the vehicle’s right rear-view mirror.
CCTV clips circulated on social media and seen by investigators show the couple parking nearby and, according to another camera, returning about 40 minutes later to pick up broken vehicle parts — an action police say indicates possible tampering with evidence. The accused have been named as Manoj Kumar (32), a Kalaripayattu instructor, and his wife Aarati Sharma (30); both are in judicial custody for 14 days as the probe continues. The couple initially claimed the wife was not present during the collision; police are investigating that claim.
The gruesome killing has sparked outrage over gig-worker safety and road violence in cities. Investigators are analysing multiple CCTV feeds, mobile phone movement data and eyewitness testimony to establish intent, whether the act was premeditated and if more charges (including attempted murder or evidence tampering) are warranted. Local worker groups and citizens are demanding swift justice and better protection for delivery agents who routinely face risky working conditions on city roads.
