The police has taken the matter into cognisance, and as per news agency PTI, Deputy Commissioner Devaraj D said, "This is a case of road rage. An altercation took place between them— both attacked each other. The accused has been taken into custody. Around 6 am today, the Air Force officer was heading from his DRDO quarters to Kempegowda International Airport. His wife was driving, and he was seated beside her. An altercation broke out between the couple and a bike rider."

“When they came to the police station, he was advised by the SHO to get first aid, as he was bleeding, and then return to file the FIR. But since he was getting late, he left for the airport. Once he went live on social media, we found out. We then traced Madhumita’s details and approached the DRDO quarters. She came to the station and lodged a complaint. We have registered an FIR under grievous hurt,” he added.

A counter FIR has been registered against the 40-year-old officer on an account by the biker, who is a call centre employee. His mother has also released a video demanding justice for her son.

While narrating the incident, Wing Commander Bose said in the video that the biker attacked him with a key that left him bleeding. He added, "This morning, my wife was driving me to the airport. And suddenly, one bike came from behind and stopped in between. Stopped our way. I will show you the video of my dashcam also. He came out and started abusing me in Kannada. And then, seeing that my car has a DRDO sticker, he says that DRDO people say many things in Kannada. And finally, he abused my wife."
