Initial Claims of Assault and Verbal Abuse
Earlier, two separate videos emerged online in which Wing Commander Bose alleged that a local motorcyclist assaulted him and his wife, Squadron Leader Madhumita, as they were en route to catch a bus to the airport.
In the video, Bose — visibly injured — stated, “A biker came from behind, blocked our car, and began abusing me in Kannada. When they noticed the DRDO sticker on my vehicle, they hurled more abuse at my wife and me. When I stepped out, the biker struck me on the forehead with a key, drawing blood.”
Although Bose himself did not file a complaint, his wife reported the incident to Baiyappanahalli Police Station. Authorities registered an FIR, leading to the arrest of the accused biker, according to a leading news publication.
