Overview

• The Karnataka High Court issued an interim order preventing Bengaluru Police from taking coercive steps against Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose in a road rage case.
• Police are prohibited from filing a charge sheet or issuing summons against Bose without prior court approval, ensuring adherence to procedural safeguards.
• The altercation, which occurred on Old Madras Road, initially led to the arrest of delivery rider Vikas Kumar SJ based on Bose’s complaint.

• Further hearings are pending as the court reviews the evidence and legal claims under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
