“I tried to block the car. I sat on the car’s bonnet to stop her. However, she kept driving. She drove the car at high speed and recklessly for at least 3-4 kilometres, even after I begged her to stop. I would have died if I had fallen,” Darshan said in the complaint to the police.
Based on the complaint, police booked Priyanka, her husband Pramod, and one Nitish under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Meanwhile, the woman’s husband filed a counter-complaint alleging that Darshan followed their car and stopped it on Ullal Main Road.
