Three Arrested in Bengaluru Road Rage Case Resulting in Man's Death
In Bengaluru's Electronics City, three men—Ajay Rabidas, Sajal Namasudra, and Bijoy Ray—were arrested for allegedly assaulting and fatally running over Ranjith Kumar Sahu, a cook from Bihar, during a road rage incident on October 21. The accused reportedly became angry after Sahu's friend signaled their speeding car to slow down. Sahu was dragged about 100 to 150 meters before being abandoned and later died from his injuries. A fourth suspect, Shyam Kohar, remains at large, and police continue their investigation.
