BENGALURU: An Uber passenger who accused a cabbie of assaulting him in Jayanagar on July 6 had attacked the driving force and used to be, in turn, roughed up through passersby, police said, bringing up preliminary investigation.
Abir Chandra, 30, gross sales supervisor with a world FMCG company and Marathahalli resident, had alleged that Uber cabbie Anush R, 24, assaulted him and left him bleeding at the highway with a damaged nostril, two fractured hands and multiple accidents on his face and head.
Chandra had booked an UberPool but used to be alone in the cab. In his grievance to Suddaguntepalya police, Chandra said he used to be assaulted when he declined to oblige to the driving force’s request to chop quick the trip and get down from the cab.
Anush (in %), then again, said Chandra hit him first, following which passsersby and onlookers attacked the passenger and passed him over to police. According to Anush, Chandra used to be in a bad temper from the time the trip started at Jayanagar 4th Block. Chandra used to be heard arguing in Hindi with any person over telephone. He instructed Anush to speed up and started abusing him in Hindi when he did not oblige. When Chandra went on abusing him, Anush stopped the vehicle close to the underpass close to Jayadeva Hospital on Bannerghatta Road.
“Alighting from the cab, Chandra kicked me in the chest and punched me at the proper eye. I started bleeding and onlookers, including some auto drivers, stuck Chandra and assaulted him before delivering him to police,” he said.
“I used to be in reality the sufferer and now not the culprit as is being made out through the passenger. I lodged a grievance with Suddaguntepalya police on July 13 upon getting treated for accidents,” Anush said.
Police said they'd gained lawsuits from both parties. “Preliminary probe revealed it used to be Chandra who first attacked the cabbie. Chandra used to be later assaulted through onlookers. We apprised the VI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s court of our findings and after in search of its permission, registered an FIR towards Chandra underneath IPC sections 504 (intentional insult to cause breach of peace) and 323 (voluntarily inflicting harm). We will summon Chandra and take his observation,” said police.
