Twist in B'luru road rage: Video shows IAF officer assaulting delivery boy, not the other way around
Bengaluru: Just when it seemed like Indian Air Force Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose was the victim in a heated road rage incident, a shocking twist has flipped the narrative: a newly surfaced video shows him brutally thrashing a delivery boy, while his wife, Squadron Leader Madhumita Das, records the assault on her phone.
The video, now viral on social media, shows Bose launching a series of punches at the delivery boy, even as bystanders try to break up the fight. At one point, the delivery agent is seen trying to make a phone call when Bose attacks him again, adding to the outrage.
Initially, Bose had claimed in a video statement that the delivery boy verbally abused him in Kannada, made derogatory remarks about the DRDO, and struck him with a key, causing injuries to his face and neck. But the new footage casts doubt on his version of events.
Bengaluru Police have also presented a different take. Deputy Commissioner of Police (East), D Devaraj, told ANI that the confrontation stemmed from a road rage incident, not any targeted abuse. “The argument started when the biker came from the opposite direction while Madhumita Das was driving. Both sides could have avoided the fight,” he said.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
