Bengaluru, 26 April 

Karnataka High Court has restrained the Bengaluru city police from initiating any coercive steps against Indian Air Force Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose in a road rage case.

The interim direction was issued on 24 April, following a petition filed by the officer challenging the FIR lodged against him. 

It also barred the police from summoning Bose without following proper legal procedure. The chargesheet should not be filed without the court’s prior permission. 

The incident occurred near CV Raman Nagar on 21 April. The police had registered a complaint lodged by Bose, alleging he had been assaulted by Vikas Kumar, a call centre employee. Subsequently, a counter-complaint was lodged by Kumar, resulting in a second FIR against the IAF officer.
