According to DCP Laxman Nirbargi, "The reason is unintentional contact between the two-wheeler and Bolero," as reported by the media.
"He was arrogant, continued to move after hitting my bolero from behind, and made an attempt to escape me. I thus did not want to leave him. He made every effort to get away and beg me to get off his scooter, riding it like a snake. A few kids tried to stop him by attacking and attacking him as they followed. Finally, a few auto drivers and motorcyclists were able to stop him and grab him, according to Muthappa," as reported by PTI.
