Bhubaneswar, Jan 27: A youth was injured after being allegedly chased and attacked over a minor altercation in Bhubaneswar, a source said on Tuesday.
According to the source, a group of miscreants pursued the victim for nearly 22 kilometres, from the Pipili toll gate to Pandra Square in Bhubaneswar, allegedly to intimidate him. The chase involved two SUVs and two motorcycles.
The source said the attackers surrounded the car driven by the youth and repeatedly struck the vehicle while continuing the pursuit. The victim, identified as Jitendra Behera of the Nakhara area, sustained injuries during the incident.
Fearing further harm, Behera drove his car directly into the Saheed Nagar police station premises to seek safety. He later lodged a formal complaint with the police.
Following the complaint, police initiated an investigation into the incident and are examining the circumstances leading to the chase and assault.
Cases like this have been reported with growing frequency in India, where a small collision leads to deadly violence. Most of the road rage incidents go unreported. They are mostly resolved between the disputing parties with or without police or public intervention or the parties just go their ways, leaving it unresolved and subsequently forgotten.
Road rage, according to experts, is a sudden expression of anger triggered in a motorist in reaction to the behaviour of other motorists or pedestrians on the road.
However, some shocking ones come into the limelight, with almost everyone equipped with a smartphone and present on social media platforms to “spread the news” with videos of shocking scenes of violent behaviour.
