Overview

  • Sriganesh claimed his convoy was targeted by around 30 unidentified assailants near RTC Hospital in Tarnaka on July 20
  • Police identified the group as ten friends riding five bikes between Bonalu celebrations rather than a coordinated mob
  • CCTV footage and witness statements confirmed there was no physical assault or verbal altercation beyond a brief honking exchange
  • Intelligence inputs found no evidence of a planned attack and suggested the complaint may have been exaggerated to secure a pilot convoy
  • Authorities registered a charge under Section 70(C) of the City Police Act and are preparing to close the inquiry due to lack of evidence
