Overview

• Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose, his wife Madhumita Dutta, and call-centre employee Vikas Kumar appeared in court and withdrew their allegations, calling the episode a trivial quarrel.
• Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum said continuing the cases would be an abuse of process, noting the absence of injuries and that one accused is a serving Air Force officer.
• The April 21 altercation near Old Madras Road drew wide attention after CCTV clips circulated and police-released footage undercut Bose’s initial claim of a language-based attack.
• Police had earlier arrested Vikas Kumar, after which he filed a counter-complaint alleging attempted murder, while the High Court in April restrained coercive action against Bose.
• The order, issued on August 29, formally quashes both FIRs and closes the criminal proceedings arising from the incident.
