Overview

• The Karnataka High Court issued an interim order protecting Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose from arrest or coercive summons in a road rage case.
• The court emphasized adherence to due legal procedures and required police to seek judicial approval before filing a charge sheet or issuing summons.
• The legal dispute stems from a physical altercation on Old Madras Road between Bose and delivery rider Vikas Kumar SJ, with both parties filing FIRs and counter-complaints.
• CCTV footage reportedly challenges Bose’s initial claims of an unprovoked attack, suggesting mutual violence and portraying Bose as the aggressor.
• Further hearings are scheduled, with notices issued to the Baiyappanahalli police and Kumar, as the case unfolds under India’s revised criminal code framework.
