The car driver dialled the police emergency helpline while trying to escape. By the time the police could respond, the family had reached the Outer Ring Road.

The incident came to light after the victim’s sister, Bhargavi, shared dashcam footage of the chase on Instagram, demanding strict action against the accused. The videos went viral on social media, prompting the police to initiate an investigation.

Bhargavi said people should not ignore such incidents and urged victims of road harassment to immediately approach the police and report the matter on social media.
